Hand Over Hand offers individualized ABA therapy for Bridgewater families at our nearby Branchburg locations. For more than 12 years, we have helped children across New Jersey build skills that help them communicate their needs and take part in everyday activities with greater independence.
We start by getting to know your child and listening to what matters most to your family. A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) learns about your child’s strengths and where they may need support, then develops a treatment plan around their needs. As therapy continues, the BCBA stays involved and adjusts the plan as your child makes progress.
