Graham Behavior Services

We offer ABA-based services that support individuals from early childhood through adulthood. At our West Long Branch clinic, we provide Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI), ABA services for adults, and speech and feeding therapy.

In early 2026, our Forked River clinic will offer EIBI and ABA services for adults, expanding access for families in Ocean County.

We work with individuals with autism and other developmental or behavioral needs and collaborate with private insurance, school funders, and Medicaid through New Jersey’s DDD program.

Additional services include:

• Sleep Coaching
• Speech Therapy
• Feeding Therapy
• Health & Wellness Coaching
• Special Education Advocacy
• Parent workshops
• Workshops for ABA Professionals
• And more!

At Graham Behavior Services, we deliver the highest quality ABA therapy by employing skilled Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and behavior therapists. Our approach includes an extra layer of support with BCBA Clinical Supervisors, who oversee and mentor our field BCBAs. Both our Clinical Director and Executive Director are also BCBAs, offering additional guidance and support to families alongside our clinical team.

This collaborative, team-driven environment, combined with ongoing training, ensures that all our professionals are equipped to reach their full potential and provide the best care for our clients and families.

ABA therapy at Graham Behavior Services places a strong emphasis on supporting, training, and working closely with families while providing services to the individual. Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will offer parent training and meet with you weekly to review your child’s progress. We also prioritize your family's goals, ensuring that the goals we target align with what matters most to you.

We provide services across the following New Jersey counties: Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Somerset, Union, and Warren.

Our clinic-based services are offered at our West Long Branch clinic, with a second clinic opening in Forked River in early 2026, expanding access for families in Ocean County and surrounding areas.

Availability may vary by service, and our team is happy to help families determine the best fit based on location and program needs.

The goal of speech therapy is to help your child communicate effectively with other people across all environments. This may take the form of using gestures, simple signs, verbal speech, and Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

Some other common things speech therapists can help with:

• Nonverbal skills, such as signs or gestures
• Forming speech in a clearer way
• Communicating thoughts and feelings clearly
• Understanding and responding to questions
• Discerning facial expressions and their corresponding emotions
• Noticing and understanding body language
• Feeding and swallowing
• Stuttering

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy rooted in the science of learning and behavior. Using principles of ABA, children and adults can learn to improve their communication skills, social skills, and daily living skills while also addressing problematic or challenging behaviors. The primary goal of ABA therapy is to teach helpful skills that promote independence and reduce harmful behaviors. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.

It's a big decision to make for your family! Applied behavior analysis (ABA) seeks to improve communication skills, introduce productive habits, and reduce harmful behaviors. Watch out for ABA providers who look to "cure" autism.

High quality ABA therapy does exist where the goal is not to “fix” children, make them appear “less autistic”, or change who they are. The goal is to help people learn all that they can so they can live to their potential while embracing their unique, individual personality traits. Here's our complete guide to start and end ABA therapy.

ABA is usually covered by insurance if you have an autism diagnosis. Autism is typically the only diagnosis insurance will authorize for ABA services since its benefits have been researched extensively.

Always check with your specific insurance plan to confirm that ABA is covered for your child’s diagnoses and that the provider you are seeking care at is in-network. Here's our complete guide to everything you need to know about ABA therapy.
