Families looking into ABA therapy in Livingston, New Jersey, often arrive after a referral from Saint Barnabas Medical Center or a developmental pediatrician they trust on Mount Pleasant Avenue. Mastermind Behavior is BCBA-owned, in-home only, and serves families across New Jersey. We bring the BCBA and Behavior Technician team to your house, build the program around the routines that already shape your child's day, and adjust as your child's needs and your family's schedule change. Therapy fits into how your home actually runs.
Saint Barnabas Medical Center on Old Short Hills Road is the largest hospital in the area and the flagship of RWJBarnabas Health. Many Livingston families enter ABA therapy after an evaluation through Saint Barnabas's pediatric specialty programs or a referral from a Livingston-area developmental pediatrician. Once you have an autism diagnosis and a prescription for ABA therapy, we verify your insurance, schedule the assessment, and most families begin direct services within six weeks.
Livingston Public Schools is consistently ranked among the strongest districts in New Jersey, and most parents we work with are already coordinating with their child's IEP team and Child Study Team. Our BCBAs build the home program to align with what's happening at school, share progress notes with the school team when families ask, and adjust the plan as the IEP shifts. The home program is designed to make progress at school easier, not to compete with it.
Livingston has a substantial Asian-American community, and many local families are bilingual at home. Our parent training programming is built so caregivers can carry the same techniques the Behavior Technician is using into the family's daily routines, including the bedtime routine, mealtimes, and homework. For families thinking through the bigger picture of treatment, see Creating an Effective Treatment Plan for Children with Autism, and for background on the therapy itself, Understanding the Basics of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

You’ll celebrate your child’s progress as we work on…
Children with ASD struggle to express their feelings and understand what others are saying. As your child learns to express their wants & needs with gestures, eye contact and language, you’ll feel relieved and hopeful now that you can understand and connect to them better.
Your child CAN function better in your daily life. From putting on their own shoes, to sitting in their chair at the dinner table, your child will learn to function better at home. As they master skills like going to the bathroom, or walking safely across the road, life will become calmer and easier for everyone.
We’ll address self-harm, tantrums and other destructive behaviors so your child can feel happier, safer and be understood. Dealing with these behaviors early on prevents these behaviors from becoming harder to manage as your child gets older.
