Updated: Aug 18
Starting ABA therapy for the first time comes with a lot of questions. Imagination ABA Therapy answers the ones New Jersey families ask most often, so you can feel informed before your first call.
Does insurance cover ABA therapy?
What ABA Actually Involves Day to Day
ABA therapy sessions typically combine direct skill teaching with naturalistic play, using data collection throughout to track exactly which skills a child is mastering. A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) delivers most direct sessions under the ongoing supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), who designs the treatment plan, reviews data regularly, and adjusts goals as a child progresses, following a process that has been studied and refined across decades of published behavioral research.
How Progress Is Actually Tracked
Every goal in an ABA treatment plan is written with a specific, measurable definition and mastery criteria, often requiring a set percentage of independent correct responses across multiple sessions before a goal is considered met. This data-driven structure, rooted in single-subject research design used throughout the field, is what allows a BCBA to know objectively whether a strategy is working rather than relying on subjective impressions.
Yes. Imagination ABA Therapy accepts most major insurance plans as well as all NJ Medicaid (NJ FamilyCare). New Jersey's autism insurance mandate requires many plans to cover ABA therapy, and our team verifies your specific benefits before your first session so there are no surprises.
Is there a waitlist?
No. We maintain no waitlist, so once intake and insurance verification are complete, most families can start services quickly rather than waiting months, which is common with many providers.
What areas do you serve?
We serve families throughout New Jersey, from Atlantic City to Newark and everywhere in between, with in-home ABA therapy delivered directly in your family's own space.
Do you offer services in Spanish?
Yes. Our team includes Spanish-speaking case managers and community liaisons, so language is never a barrier to accessing care or understanding your child's treatment plan.
