About Haddon Township: Saddler's Woods in Haddon Township is an old-growth forest preserve tied to the history of a formerly enslaved man, Joshua Saddler. The Haddon 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.

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.
