ABA (applied behavior analysis) is a science-based therapy that focuses on positive reinforcement to teach communication, daily living, and social skills. We are not a clinic; we are a free referral service dedicated to helping you find the right local provider for your child's unique needs.

In-home, center-based & telehealth ABA in Newark

Newark families have a range of ABA options. Many providers offer in-home therapy, bringing services to your living room in neighborhoods like the North Ward, Ironbound, or Forest Hill. Center-based programs are also available in and around Essex County, offering structured environments with peer interaction. Telehealth ABA is another flexible choice, connecting your child with a BCBA remotely, which can be ideal for busy schedules or if you live in a more rural part of the county.

No matter which setting you prefer, our matching service helps you find providers that fit your family's lifestyle and your child's needs. We work with a network of vetted, BCBA-led organizations that serve Newark and the greater Essex County area, ensuring you have access to quality care close to home.

ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in New Jersey

In New Jersey, ABA therapy is commonly covered by private insurance, and New Jersey's Medicaid program, NJ FamilyCare, also provides coverage for medically necessary ABA services.

Our team can help you understand what your plan may cover and connect you with providers who accept your insurance.

New Jersey has a strong track record of supporting autism services, and most major insurers in the state include ABA as a covered benefit.
