Not another provider. A real partner.
Too many families wait months for rotating clinicians and a generic plan.
We started Autumn because kids deserve consistency, families deserve honesty, and every program should be built for one specific child — yours.
Care where your child lives
In-home, school, daycare, community, and telehealth — therapy in the places your child already lives and learns.
Parent training, every step
You'll learn the why behind every strategy, so skills live on at home — not just in session.
Fast intake, fast start
Most families hear back quickly — and start with their behavior technician (BT) within 2–4 weeks of authorization.
We handle the paperwork
Insurance verification, authorizations, school coordination and IEP advocacy — we've done this hundreds of times.
How it works
From first call to real-world progress — four clear steps
ABA is the science of breaking big goals into small, teachable moments, then making each one fun, meaningful, and repeatable. Here's the path, start to finish.
The seed — Reach out & verify
Tell us about your child and what you're hoping for. We verify your insurance for free and answer every question — no pressure, no commitment.
The sprout — Meet your BCBA
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst spends real time observing, asking, and learning what calms your child, what excites them, and what's already working — then builds a program around their goals and your routines.
The branching — In-home sessions begin
A trained RBT runs playful, structured day-to-day sessions in your home, turning each goal into repeatable practice. Your BCBA supervises closely every week and adjusts whenever something isn't landing.
The bloom — Skills generalize
Progress spreads into school, siblings, and the wider world. We celebrate every milestone, share data transparently, and keep growing until your child is ready to fly.
For families just starting out
What is ABA therapy?
A diagnosis of autism can feel overwhelming. We're here to walk beside you. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most-researched, evidence-based therapy for children with autism and related delays. It builds communication, social, and daily-living skills while reducing behaviors that get in the way of learning.
ABA can be highly structured or woven naturally into play and daily routines. Whatever the setting, your team stays focused on connection, your child's goals, and careful analysis of progress — bringing big goals within reach, one bright moment at a time.

The questions parents ask us most
Frequently asked questions
What is ABA therapy, exactly?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most-researched, evidence-based therapy for children with autism. It breaks meaningful goals — communication, social skills, daily living, and school readiness — into small, teachable moments and uses positive reinforcement to build them into lasting, generalized skills. A BCBA designs your child's program; an RBT runs the day-to-day sessions.
Do you take our insurance?
We're in-network with NJ FamilyCare/Medicaid, including managed-care plans such as Aetna Better Health, Wellpoint, Fidelis Care, and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan. We also accept many commercial plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Optum, and Oxford. We verify your coverage free before you commit to anything.
How quickly can we start ABA in New Jersey?
Most families hear back from our intake team quickly. From there it depends on insurance authorization (typically 2–4 weeks) and BCBA scheduling. We compress this as much as we can — every day matters in early intervention.
What ages does Autumn ABA serve?
Roughly 18 months through 18 years, with programs customized to developmental needs, not just age. Most of our clients are between 2 and 14.
What does an in-home ABA session actually look like?
A trained RBT comes to your home and runs a play-based, individualized session — typically 2–4 hours, several days a week. Your BCBA writes the program and supervises closely. Sessions feel like structured play, but every interaction has a goal behind it.
What's the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?
A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a master's-level clinician who designs and supervises your child's program. An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a trained therapist who runs day-to-day sessions under BCBA supervision. Your BCBA is your point person — the clinical brain behind everything.
Which counties in New Jersey do you serve?
All 21 — Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and Warren. We travel anywhere a child needs us, and also offer telehealth.
