ABA therapy in Maplewood, New Jersey is what we provide for families who want their child's autism care delivered at home, not at a clinic across town. Mastermind Behavior is a BCBA-owned in-home ABA therapy provider, and our team comes directly to your house in Maplewood so therapy fits the actual rhythm of your week. Many of the families we work with in town have one or both parents commuting into Manhattan on the Morris & Essex line. That schedule already takes a lot. Bringing therapy into your home means you're not adding a third trip to it.
Maplewood is an Essex County township of about 26,000 residents, paired with neighboring South Orange in the South Orange-Maplewood School District (SOMSD). The district enrolls roughly 7,000 students across six elementary schools, two middle schools, and Columbia High School, the shared high school for both towns. SOMSD is well known for its diversity and for active parent involvement in IEP and special education planning. We coordinate with the special services team and align in-home goals to what's written into your child's IEP, so progress at home shows up in classroom behavior at Tuscan, Seth Boyden, or Clinton.
Most Maplewood families are served by Saint Barnabas Medical Center in nearby Livingston for pediatric specialty care, including developmental and neurodevelopmental evaluations. After diagnosis, families often spend weeks searching for an ABA provider with capacity. With no onboarding waitlist, we typically begin in-home assessments within two to three weeks of intake.

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.
