About Plumsted Township: Plumsted Township's main community is New Egypt, a rural village surrounded by farmland in the northwestern corner of Ocean County. The Plumsted Township 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.
Why children bite
Biting can be driven by frustration or a need to escape, by seeking attention or a reaction, or by sensory needs (some children bite for oral-sensory input). For young or minimally verbal children, it’s often a communication attempt. A BCBA assesses which function is at play for your child before building a plan.
Teaching alternatives
ABA reduces biting by teaching replacement skills matched to the cause — communicating frustration, requesting a break, or (for sensory-driven biting) offering an appropriate oral-sensory alternative — while adjusting the environment to prevent triggers. Plans are positive and consistent. Related: sensory processing and requesting.
