If you’re in Florham Park and searching for answers about Scratching & Pinching in Autism, you’re not alone. Families across Morris 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 Florham Park: Florham Park is the site of the New York Jets' training facility and corporate headquarters. The Florham Park 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.

Understanding the behavior

Scratching and pinching often happen when a child is frustrated, overwhelmed, or seeking attention or escape — and they can be especially common when a child can’t yet communicate their needs in words. Some are sensory-driven. A BCBA assesses the function before building a plan.

Replacement and prevention

ABA teaches a safer replacement — asking for a break or space, requesting help, or an appropriate sensory alternative — while reducing triggers and reinforcing gentle interactions. Building communication is often the most powerful intervention. Related: communication and challenging behavior.
