ABA therapy for autism in New Jersey
True Progress is closer than you think
Your child is capable of so much more. We bring expert clinical care, real support, and partner with your family every step to help them get there.
First - What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy helps children with autism build everyday, valuable skills: communication, independence and social connection.
It works by understanding what drives your child’s behavior and teaching new skills in a way that makes sense to them. The goal is simple: help your child become more capable and confident in their everyday life.

Why parents trust True Progress Therapy
Not all therapy is created equal
As a parent, only the best will do. This is why True Progress Therapy fits the bill.
Great ABA gets you started fast
No waitlist. No months of waiting while your child needs help now. Within two weeks of your first call, therapy begins.
Great ABA starts with great BCBAs
Our BCBAs have monthly roundtables, weekly office hours, and monthly supervision meetings led by our clinical director, Michele Young. This infrastructure means your child gets personalized attention and your child's BCBA is constantly learning and staying sharp.
Great ABA adapts to your life
Cookie-cutter therapy doesn't work, so we bring sessions to your home or your child's school — wherever they'll make the most progress.
Great ABA includes you
We train you every week on the same strategies our therapists use so progress doesn't stop when the session ends. You're not a spectator. You're partnering with us.
Great ABA measures results
We track data from day one so you'll see concrete proof of what's working, and we adjust what isn't.
Great ABA respects your family
We understand and respect the diverse backgrounds of the families we serve. Our team is trained in cultural competency to provide sensitive and appropriate care that honors your family's values and beliefs.
Our services in New Jersey
Wherever you need us
In-home ABA therapy
Children thrive best in familiar environments. Our in-home ABA therapy brings expert therapists into your home where your child is comfortable. Real-life situations become learning opportunities—whether it’s communication, independence, transitions, or daily routines.
Benefits of In-Home Therapy:
- Therapy happens in the environment where your child actually lives
- Sessions customized to your family's routines and schedule
- Parental involvement and training built into every week
- Skills that actually transfer to daily life, not just therapy sessions
- Your BCBA directly supervises all progress
Parent training & support
We believe parental involvement is key to long-term success. Our parent training equips you with the exact strategies our therapists use, so progress doesn’t stop when therapy ends.
Parent Training Covers:
- The same behavior strategies your therapist uses with your child
- Communication and independence techniques
- How to handle real situations—transitions, meals, bedtime
- How to recognize when your child is ready for the next step
- How to maintain progress long-term
What progress actually looks like
Communication
Your child learns to ask for what they need with words instead of behavior. Transitions that once caused meltdowns become manageable. They try new things without fear.
Independence
Getting dressed, brushing teeth, the morning routine, your child handles these without constant direction from you. You move from managing every moment to actually parenting.
Resilience
Disappointment doesn't derail them anymore. They recover from setbacks. They adapt when things change and move forward.
Confidence
Your child raises their hand in class, makes new friends, and shows the world who they really are.

What New Jersey families say
We called three other providers before True Progress. All of them said 3-6 months wait. We started in two weeks. The BCBA trained me on strategies I could actually use at home, and my son’s progress in the first month was more than we saw in months at other places. Finally found a provider that actually moves.
— David M., Bergen County
Our BCBA doesn’t just supervise sessions. She checks in with us. She celebrates wins with us. She coordinates with the school. She trains us. She feels like part of our family, not just billing hours. That matters so much.
— Jennifer L., Essex County
We were told to expect months of waiting. We were wrong. Within two weeks we started therapy. The parent training component has been everything. I’m not just watching from the sidelines anymore. I’m part of the progress.
— Sarah K., Middlesex County
After dealing with corporate ABA agencies that felt like a business, True Progress actually feels like people who care. The therapists show up prepared. The BCBA listens. They adjust when something isn’t working. Our daughter has made more progress in four months than the year before with another provider.
— Michael T., Monmouth County
