If you’re in Rutherford and searching for answers about Dropping/Flopping to the Floor (Autism), you’re not alone. Families across Bergen 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 Rutherford: Poet William Carlos Williams lived and practiced medicine in Rutherford for most of his life. The Rutherford 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.
