Our Process
Connect Plus Therapy provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families. Due to changes in legislation, most health insurance plans cover ABA services to children with ASD. We currently provide these services throughout Southern NJ and the Greater Philadelphia Area.
Our home and community-based ABA services are person centered and family driven. We take the time to do an intensive planning process to focus on the socially relevant goals personalized to your child’s needs. We work together with early intervention teams, special educators, and other related service providers in your child’s life to promote a whole-person approach to treatment. CPT currently serves children as young as 18 months of age through adulthood.

What our families can expect...
Once we confirm benefits, our intake team will request authorization for services
Our Clinical Team will conduct the Assessment process and Develop a Treatment Plan.
Next, a schedule of therapy is executed that takes into consideration the family’s priorities and optimal therapy times to address meaningful goals.
The team engages in a thorough reassessment during which progress is summarized and new goals are developed.

Evidence Based Assesment Tools
Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) use evidence-based assessment tools (including but not limited to ABAS, VB-MAPP, AFLLS, ABLLS, ESDM, Skillstreaming) to treat a variety of behavioral areas. The use of these assessment tools guides our BCBAs in choosing how to best devise a program for your child. Your child’s BCBA will work with you as the parent to learn more about your family’s needs and goals and how we can help improve your child’s life.
