About Middlesex: The Borough of Middlesex lies along the Green Brook near the foot of the Watchung Mountains. The Middlesex Borough Public Schools 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.

Often about transitions and demands

Dropping to the floor is frequently a way to avoid or delay something — leaving a fun activity, a transition, or a non-preferred task — or to get help or attention. It can also signal overwhelm. A BCBA looks at what happens right before and after to identify the function.

Building cooperation

ABA reduces flopping by teaching transition and coping skills, using supports like visual schedules, first-then language, and timers, and reinforcing smooth transitions — while teaching a child to request a break or more time appropriately. Related: transitions & routines and following directions.
