If you’re in Somers Point and searching for answers about Aggression in Autism (Hitting, Kicking), you’re not alone. Families across Atlantic County ask us about this regularly—and ABA therapy works precisely because it finds the reason behind the behavior, not just the behavior itself.

About Somers Point: Somers Point sits at the foot of the bridge to Ocean City and is one of the oldest settlements in Atlantic County. The Somers Point School District district provides some autism services through IEP, but ABA therapy through insurance fills the gaps school cannot—including after-school hours, summers, and the clinical intensity your child’s IEP may not authorize.

Aggression as communication

Aggression toward others usually isn’t ‘bad behavior’ — it’s often a child’s only available tool to escape something hard, get attention or an item, or cope with overwhelm or frustration, especially when communication is limited. A BCBA conducts a functional assessment to pinpoint the cause, because the right response depends entirely on the ‘why.’

Building safer alternatives

ABA teaches replacement skills — requesting a break, asking for help, communicating ‘no,’ or labeling feelings — and proactively adjusts the environment to reduce triggers. Often, teaching better communication dramatically reduces aggression. Plans are positive and safety-focused, never punishment-based. Related: emotional regulation and communication.
