Clinic Executive Director – ABA Centers of New Jersey

Edison, NJ

About ABA Centers Of New Jersey

As New Jersey’s top ABA provider, we take it as our responsibility to bring the best autism therapy to as many families as possible. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the gold standard in autism care. Our highly trained, certified professionals customize therapy programs to meet the goals of individuals with autism and their families. In addition to ABA therapy, we offer autism diagnostic testing in an effort to reduce or eliminate long waiting lists that can rob families of months of critical early intervention care.
