Listed
Serving New Haven, CTAges 1-6

Our Connec-to-Talk clinic in Stamford is at 992 High Ridge Road and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. We specialize in early intervention ABA for children ages 1 to 6, and we have more than 20 years of experience providing ABA therapy in Connecticut. The Stamford clinic has a sensory-friendly gym and gives children time for peer interaction and group activities, and we have no waitlist for new clients. We also provide in-home ABA in towns around our clinics, such as Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, and Norwalk, and community ABA in daycares and schools. We are in network with most commercial insurance plans and accept Connecticut Medicaid, and our billing team checks benefits before services begin. Insurance coverage requires an autism diagnosis, and private pay is available for families who are not seeking one. Connec-to-Talk was founded by former speech-language pathologists.

Frequently Asked Questions About ABA Therapy in New Haven

Where should a New Haven family start if a child is under three?
Contact Connecticut Birth to Three and ask for the referral and evaluation route serving your home address. This public process is separate from a private ABA assessment, so you can ask providers about intake and records in parallel.
How do parents request a school evaluation in New Haven?
Confirm the school district for the home address, then ask its special education team for the written referral process. New Haven Public Schools Special Education and Student Services is the local starting point where available; keep a dated copy of your request.
Can school supports and private ABA be considered at the same time?
Yes, families can ask both systems about next steps. The school team considers educational eligibility; a provider and health plan handle clinical assessment and coverage. Share records only with your consent and clarify who owns each goal.
What makes an ABA schedule workable for a New Haven family?
For shoreline travel and nearby town school-district boundaries, map the full recurring trip at the actual session time. For home care, ask whether staff currently cover your specific neighborhood and requested hours, and how the provider handles cancellations.
What should we confirm before accepting ABA hours in New Haven?
Ask the plan and provider to confirm network participation, required records, prior authorization, covered setting, approved hours, renewal steps, and family costs. Also ask whether the opening is staffed now and how often a BCBA supervises.
