In-home ABA therapy in Newark
Your child's potential isn't across town. It's right here.
True Progress Therapy brings expert ABA therapy directly to Newark families—from the Ironbound to Vailsburg, Forest Hill to the South Ward. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts create personalized therapy plans in your home, where your child feels safest and progress happens naturally.
Accepting Medicaid & Major Insurances
Why Newark families choose True Progress Therapy
Finally, ABA therapy that works around your life
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts and skilled therapists don’t just deliver evidence-based care—we design it around your child’s world.
Your living room becomes our classroom
Whether you’re in a walk-up in the Ironbound, a house in Vailsburg, or an apartment in University Heights, we bring therapy to you. No battling traffic on McCarter Highway. No finding parking downtown. Your daily routines become opportunities for growth. Your family’s schedule becomes our priority.
Hablamos español y português
Newark is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in America. Our bilingual therapists work with families in Spanish and Portuguese, providing genuine cultural understanding about your child’s care and progress.
We understand Newark Public Schools
We coordinate with Newark schools across all wards—from elementary schools in the Ironbound to middle schools in the West Ward. Our therapists work with your child’s IEP team to make sure home therapy and classroom support are aligned.
Flexible scheduling for Newark families
Many Newark parents work multiple jobs, manage unpredictable schedules, or commute into Manhattan. We offer evening and weekend sessions because your child’s progress shouldn’t depend on a 9-to-5 schedule you don’t have.
This isn’t about forcing your child to adapt to another unfamiliar environment. This is about meeting them exactly where they are and helping them flourish right there.
Why your home is the perfect place for ABA therapy
What changes when therapy comes home
You know your child better than anyone. You see how they light up in their favorite corner of the living room, how they’re more talkative at the kitchen table, how they’re calmer when they’re surrounded by their own toys and familiar sounds.
That’s exactly what in-home ABA therapy is about.
You’re part of every breakthrough
See exactly what’s working. Learn the strategies in real time. Know how to support your child’s progress long after the session ends.
Real life becomes the classroom
Morning routines, homework time, family dinners — we turn your actual daily moments into opportunities for growth, not artificial exercises.
Therapy that fits your world
Work schedules, sibling needs, family commitments — we adapt to your life because you’ve already adapted enough.
You’ve been managing this alone long enough. Now you have a team that comes to you, works with your reality, and understands that sometimes the best therapy happens at your kitchen table.
Magic is happening all over Newark
Here are some snippets of the story we're writing
“I did it!”
Noah, age 3 — zipped his coat for the first time this week—and grinned the whole way to the bus.
“Can I play too?”
Ava, age 5 — after weeks of avoiding group games, invited a classmate to join her in tag—and didn’t look back.
“I like story time now”
Maya, age 7 — after months of fidgeting and walking away, sat through an entire group reading—and asked for a second book.
“Look what I made!”
Sarah, age 4 — proudly showed her teacher the block tower she built independently during free play.
“Good morning, Mrs. Johnson.”
Alex, age 5 — after months of silent arrivals, now greets his teacher every morning with a smile.
“Can you help me?”
Emma, age 6 — learned to ask for assistance instead of getting frustrated—a breakthrough that changed her whole day.

Our approach to ABA therapy
How we help your child discover what they're capable of
You’ve watched your child struggle to tell you what they need. You’ve seen them get frustrated when they can’t connect with other kids. You’ve wondered if they’ll ever feel confident doing everyday things on their own.
We see something different. We see a child who’s ready to surprise everyone—including themselves.
Here’s what changes with the right support:
Communication that works
Your child finds their voice, whether through words, signs, or pictures. They learn to ask for what they need instead of feeling frustrated that no one understands.
Social skills for Newark
Playing with neighborhood kids at Weequahic Park. Participating in activities at the Newark Public Library. Making friends at school instead of sitting alone. Navigating Newark’s diverse, bustling environment where connection matters.
Independence that builds confidence
Getting dressed, brushing teeth, making simple choices. We help your child master the daily tasks that make them feel capable and proud.
Behaviors that make sense
When challenging behaviors happen, we figure out what your child is really trying to communicate. Then we teach them better ways to get their needs met.
Emotional tools that last
Your child learns to recognize when they’re getting overwhelmed and what to do about it—skills they’ll use for the rest of their life.
The truth is, your child is already capable of so much. Our job isn’t to change who they are. Our job is to give them the tools to show the world—and themselves—what they’re truly capable of.

Alex, BCBA and ABA therapist are wonderful, i had a very nice experience and one of my sons was nonverbal and throw the therapy now he's capable of saying a few words.

My sons have really done phenomenally since starting their therapy sessions. Both have gone from non verbal to one perfecting his speech and the other being able to repeat as needed while developing his own words as well. Everyone is always supportive and helpful, you can tell they want everyone to succeed.
Jason Accordino
I'd called 3 other places before True Progress Therapy and got nowhere. These guys were AMAZING from the first call! No "we'll get back to you", they answered and actually helped right then. The intake lady was so nice and walked me through everything. I was blown away. Had our first session set up so fast!! Seriously wish I'd found them first. If you're stuck on waitlists, call them NOW. Highly recommend!
Tamika Riley
I just want to take a moment to share my experience with True Progress Therapy. I have three children receiving services with this company, all with unique needs. Since I had never received services for my twin 4 year olds, and 7 year-old before, we were unsure of what to expect. However, the BCBA, Michele Young, came out and did the assessment, and immediately made us feel comfortable. The treatment plans were individualized and aligned with our concerns, and their needs. The staff that were paired with my children as direct providers, all are amazing and a perfect fit.
Rachelli Oseroff
From day one, their team has shown an incredible level of professionalism, compassion, and dedication. The therapists are knowledgeable, patient, and truly invested in helping each child thrive. We've seen measurable progress—not just in behavior, but in communication and confidence as well.
