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.

Why spitting happens

Spitting may be a way to get a reaction or attention, to escape a task, or it can be sensory-driven (some children enjoy the sensation). It can also start by accident and continue because of the response it gets. A BCBA identifies the function through careful observation before intervening.

Teaching a better option

ABA reduces spitting by minimizing the reaction that may be reinforcing it, teaching a replacement (communicating a need, or an appropriate sensory alternative), and consistently reinforcing the new behavior. Consistency across caregivers is key, so parent coaching is built in. Related: sensory processing.
