ABA therapy in Montclair, New Jersey, often starts with a question parents bring out of an IEP meeting at one of the magnet schools, or a developmental pediatrician's note from Mountainside Medical Center. Mastermind Behavior is BCBA-owned, in-home only, and serves families across New Jersey. Our BCBAs and Behavior Technicians come to your home, sit down with you, and build a therapy plan that fits how your family actually moves through a week. Therapy happens in the kitchen, the playroom, or the back yard, wherever the skill needs to land.
Montclair Public Schools runs a magnet system that has been a draw for families moving to town for decades. Each elementary school has its own theme, and parents in Montclair tend to stay close to their child's school team. Our BCBAs work with how that already operates. We coordinate with classroom teachers and Child Study Teams when families ask, share progress notes that align with the IEP, and adjust the home program as the school year shifts.
Mountainside Medical Center on Bay Avenue is the closest hospital and a common point of entry for pediatric developmental referrals. Many families enter ABA therapy after an evaluation through Mountainside or with a Montclair-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.
Parent involvement matters more in our work than parents sometimes expect. ABA isn't a service that happens to your child while you wait in another room. Our parent training program gives you the same tools the Behavior Technician is using, so the bedtime routine, the dinner table, and the morning rush become places where progress carries over. For more on that side of the work, see Effective Parent Training Techniques in ABA, 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.
