We specialize in early intervention while also supporting individuals ages 2–21, including school-aged children and teenagers with autism preparing for greater independence. If you’re noticing delays in communication, speech, social skills, or behavior, early support can make a meaningful difference. Our team helps families monitor early development, recognize milestones, and identify signs of autism while building skills in everyday settings. Through in-home ABA, home-based therapy, ABA for school settings, and school-based support, we collaborate closely with families and local districts such as Bedford Public Schools to ensure consistency across environments. Our experienced clinicians, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Behavior Technicians (BTs), use ABA best practices to support progress in both structured sessions and natural routines.
At ABI New England, our culture is centered on inclusive ABA, and what makes us different is our commitment to individualized care. We work alongside families navigating special education and support plans such as the Individualized Education Program (IEP), Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA), and Behavior Support Plan (BSP), helping ensure alignment between therapy and school. We also offer flexible ABA teletherapy, telehealth, and remote ABA options, making services more accessible for busy families while maintaining high standards of care and ethics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Caregiver involvement is a cornerstone of the ABI New England model. We provide regular Parent Guidance sessions where a BCBA works directly with you to share strategies and techniques. By involving parents in the treatment plan, we ensure that the skills your child learns during therapy sessions carry over into your daily routines at home and in the community, leading to more sustainable success.
Center-based therapy offers a structured, classroom-like environment that is ideal for building social skills and preparing for school. Benefits include increased opportunities for peer interaction, access to a wider variety of learning materials, and direct, on-site supervision from multiple BCBAs. It provides a focused setting that helps many children master new skills more rapidly than in a home environment alone.
For our youngest learners, therapy is designed to look and feel like play. We utilize Natural Environment Teaching (NET) to embed learning opportunities into favorite activities like blocks, bubbles, or pretend play. This approach focuses on “pivotal” developmental skills such as joint attention, imitation, and functional communication in a way that is gentle, naturalistic, and highly reinforcing for toddlers and preschoolers
While ABI New England focuses specifically on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we believe in the power of a multidisciplinary approach. We do not provide speech or occupational therapy directly, but we actively collaborate with your child’s external SLP and OT providers. By sharing data and aligning our clinical goals, we ensure that your child receives a cohesive and well-rounded treatment experience across all therapeutic disciplines.
