How In-Home ABA Therapy Works in Newark
Newark Public Schools is the largest district in New Jersey, serving roughly 38,000 students across more than 60 schools. Many children with autism in the city receive part of their day in a self-contained or inclusion classroom and the rest at home, which is where in-home ABA fits in. Your BCBA can coordinate with your child's IEP team, observe a session at school when it's useful, and design home-based goals that line up with what's already happening in the classroom.
University Hospital, the Level I trauma and academic medical center on Bergen Street, is a major referral point for Essex County autism diagnoses. Families who receive a diagnosis there often reach Mastermind a few weeks after the developmental pediatrician's letter is in hand. We also work with families coming from Newark-based pediatric practices and CHEN Network referrals.
For families with younger children not yet in school, Mastermind also provides early intervention ABA therapy for toddlers and preschoolers, often starting between ages 2 and 4 when the diagnosis is fresh.

How it Works
You’ll celebrate your child’s progress as we work on…
Improving communication skills
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.
Developing real-life skills
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.
Reducing problem behaviors
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.
Encouraging social skills
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.
