About South River: South River is named for the South River, a tributary of the Raritan, and was once a major port for clay and brick shipping. The South River 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.
