Hand Over Hand provides personalized ABA therapy for families in Somerset, NJ and the surrounding communities. Located at Growing Seeds Preschool, our Somerset center brings the same proven preschool-integrated approach to ABA therapy that has been helping children grow and reach their full potential for over 12 years.
Because ABA therapy happens within the preschool, children get to play and learn side by side with other kids as part of a regular school day. Our co-teaching approach means therapists and educators work as one team, guiding every child toward progress that families can see and measure.
