Proud Moments ABA - Cedar Knolls (Morristown)

This ABA center serves Morristown from Suite 100 at 54 Horse Hill Rd. in Cedar Knolls, Morris County. Jessica Matthews leads it. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8am to 7pm, weekends closed. New clients are being accepted with no waitlist.

Ages served run from infancy through 21, and Proud Moments holds a BHCOE Award of Distinction. The center accepts Horizon, Aetna, Oxford, UnitedHealthcare, Medicaid and TRICARE, along with Cigna and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

The center provides Applied Behavior Analysis for children on the autism spectrum in one to one sessions. Families begin with an advocate, who records their information and starts insurance authorization. A BCBA then assesses the child and writes a comprehensive individualized treatment plan for a matched BCBA and therapist team to implement.

Program areas include communication, such as initiating and holding conversation, and social and emotional skills like following rules and taking turns. Adaptive daily living skills cover safety awareness and toilet training, older clients work on job competence skills, and therapy reduces tantrums, self-injury and aggression. Complex skills are broken into smaller steps and taught with positive reinforcement in naturalistic settings, and progress is checked through a data-driven review process with senior clinician supervision. Parents receive regular training on the behavior techniques used at home.
