Do you provide ABA services in New Jersey?
For families looking for ABA services in New Jersey, we offer naturalistic ABA services, which are a different approach than what you’d receive in-center.
Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions ensure that our autism care is not only compassionate and effective but also specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of each child. Our approach is designed to adapt to the individuality of your child, fostering essential skills and independence. This service is particularly beneficial for children aged 0-5.
Learn more about our approach.
Will my current ABA services be affected if I sign up for Avela?
No—joining Avela won’t interfere with your current ABA or other therapy services. You can continue with any existing Horizon-covered providers while starting care with us. Our model is designed to work alongside what you already have in place, especially during transitions.
That said, many families find that after a few months of working with Avela, they feel more confident, better supported, and often realize they no longer need as many separate services. Our goal is to simplify your care, not complicate it—so you spend less time coordinating providers, and more time seeing real progress.
How can I get started?
We make it simple to get started — schedule your first appointment anytime online. The process takes less than 5 minutes.
If you have questions or prefer to schedule over the phone, call or text us at 855-328-5931. We’re available Monday through Friday from 9am-8pm EST.
