Telehealth ABA is also an option in New Jersey, providing live, remote sessions with a BCBA. Your match can include providers who offer any of these formats.

What to look for in an ABA provider

When choosing an ABA provider, it's important to look for a company that is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who supervises all programs. Ask about their assessment process, how they set goals, and how they involve parents in training. A good provider will share progress data regularly and adjust the plan as your child grows. We only match with providers who meet our high standards for care, ethics, and communication.
