Why Paterson 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 Paterson home becomes the classroom
Whether you’re in a multi-family near Great Falls, an apartment on Eastside, or a house in Hillcrest, we bring therapy to you. No fighting Route 20 traffic. No circling for parking on Main Street. Your daily routines—breakfast before school, homework after work, weekend trips to Eastside Park—become opportunities for real growth.
Hablamos español, árabe, bengalí, y más
Paterson is one of the most diverse cities in New Jersey. Our multilingual therapists work with families in Spanish, Arabic, Bengali, and other languages. We don’t just translate—we understand the cultural context of raising a child with autism in Paterson’s immigrant communities.
We know Paterson Public Schools
From School 2 on Eastside to School 26 in Hillcrest, we work with Paterson schools across all wards. Our therapists coordinate with your child’s IEP team, show up at CST meetings, and make sure what happens at home supports what’s happening in the classroom.
Flexible scheduling for working families
Many Paterson parents work multiple jobs—retail on Main Street, healthcare at St. Joseph’s, manufacturing, food service. We offer early morning, evening, and weekend sessions because your child’s progress can’t wait for a 9-to-5 schedule you don’t have.
This isn’t about forcing your child to adapt to another clinic environment. This is about meeting them where they already are and helping them thrive right there.
Why your home is the perfect place for ABA therapy
What changes when therapy comes to Paterson
You know your child better than anyone. You see how they’re calmer in their own bedroom than in a crowded clinic waiting room. You notice they communicate better at the kitchen table where they eat every meal. You understand that loading them in the car for another appointment—finding parking, dealing with traffic—is exhausting for everyone.
That’s exactly what in-home ABA therapy solves.
You see exactly what’s working
You’re not wondering what happened behind closed doors at some clinic. You watch the strategies in action. You learn what calms your child, what motivates them, what helps them communicate. You become part of the solution in real time.
Skills transfer to real Paterson life
We don’t teach your child to behave in a clinic and hope it transfers home. We teach them to manage morning routines before school. To handle transitions when plans change. To communicate their needs at Eastside Park. To regulate emotions during real Paterson life—busy streets, crowded stores, loud neighborhoods.
Therapy adapts to your world
Paterson families are juggling multiple jobs, siblings in different schools, relatives who don’t speak English, financial stress. We schedule around your reality 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 schedule, and understands that the best therapy happens at your kitchen table—not in some clinic you can’t get to.

Our approach to ABA therapy
How we help your Paterson child discover what they’re capable of
You’ve watched your child struggle to communicate what they need. You’ve seen them get frustrated when they can’t connect with kids at school or in the park. You’ve wondered if they’ll ever be able to manage a full school day or play independently at the park.
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 in Paterson
Your child finds their voice—whether through words, signs, pictures, or AAC devices. They learn to ask for what they need at home, communicate with teachers at Paterson schools, express how they’re feeling when things get overwhelming.
Social skills for diverse Paterson
Playing with neighborhood kids at Eastside Park. Participating in activities at the Paterson Free Public Library. Making friends in Paterson Public Schools classrooms. Navigating Paterson’s wonderfully diverse, bustling community where connection matters.
Independence that builds confidence
Getting dressed for school without help. Making simple choices at breakfast. Following routines without constant prompting. Walking down the block without holding your hand. Skills that make them feel capable and proud.
Behaviors that finally make sense
When challenging behaviors happen—meltdowns at the store on Main Street, aggression with siblings, refusal to transition—we figure out what your child is actually trying to communicate. Then we teach them better ways to get their needs met.
Emotional regulation for city life
Paterson is loud, crowded, unpredictable. Your child learns to recognize when they’re getting overwhelmed and what to do about it. They develop coping strategies they’ll use for life—on busy streets, at school, in crowds, everywhere.
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 Paterson—and themselves—what they’re truly capable of.

Parents from across Silk City
Karen Barahona
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. It's been a long journey but True Program has great staff, who will listen and help you get through it. My two kids love their BCBA and their therapist too and that means a lot for us and to them as well. I am very happy and very grateful to have wonderful and amazing people around my kids and I.

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.
