Why New Perspectives ABA?
New Perspectives ABA was established with the core belief that continuous growth in understanding is essential. The heart of our work is seeing the world through someone else’s eyes.
We have learned that real progress begins when we set aside our own lens and try to understand theirs, whether it’s a child discovering new skills, a family navigating challenges, or a team member bringing fresh ideas. Most of the time, when faced with challenges, what we need is a New Perspective.
It’s more than a name. Our promise is to truly see, hear, and understand every person we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a proven approach to teaching meaningful skills and reducing dangerous behaviors that get in the way of learning. At New Perspectives, we use ABA to help individuals build communication, social, and everyday skills—always in ways that feel respectful, natural, and tailored to each person’s life.
What insurances are accepted?
Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Northwell Direct, NYSHIP
What is a BCBA/LBA?
A BCBA, or board-certified behavior analyst, must have a master’s degree, complete specific coursework and supervision, and pass the BCBA exam, specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis. In New York, a licensed behavior analyst (NYS LBA) also requires a master’s degree, supervision from an LBA, state-approved coursework, and a licensing exam. Many professionals hold both credentials, but one must be an LBA to provide services in New York.
How to get an autism diagnosis?
If you suspect that you or your child may have autism, the first step is to reach out to a qualified healthcare provider. For children, starting with a pediatrician can help guide you toward the right specialists. Developmental pediatricians, psychologists, neuropsychologists, neurologists, or psychiatrists often conduct evaluations. If unsure where to begin, your insurance company can provide a list of covered providers.
Can ABA help individuals with mild autism?
ABA has been demonstrated to be effective with autistic individuals with varying levels of support needs. In addition, ABA has an extensive history of effectiveness for people with a wide range of disorders and disabilities, as well as other people for whom behavior change needs to take place.
Do you offer services during the day?
Yes! We currently offer in-home and daycare-based services during the day, and we plan to expand into clinic-based daytime programs by 2026.
Do you offer after-school or weekend services?
Absolutely. We provide flexible scheduling to meet the needs of busy families.
How soon can we start?
Once insurance is verified and intake is complete, we aim to begin services immediately. Start dates depend on availability and scheduling needs.
What kinds of skills does ABA teach?
ABA helps build essential skills such as communication, social interaction, coping strategies, daily living routines, safety awareness, and academic readiness.
How involved will I be as a parent?
ABA is most effective when families are active participants. You’ll receive regular updates, direct communication with your BCBA, and practical advice to feel confident supporting your child’s growth beyond sessions. We view families as essential members of the care team.
What makes New Perspectives ABA different from other providers?
Many ABA providers prioritize volume over quality. We prioritize ethical, individualized, and compassionate care at New Perspectives ABA.
Do you accept children with more complex behaviors or higher needs?
Yes. We have extensive experience supporting children with a wide range of needs, including those who have been unsuccessful with other providers. Our programs are highly individualized, and our team is trained to address complex behaviors with care and expertise.
Do you provide services for teens and adults?
Yes. We offer person-centered ABA services for individuals across the lifespan, tailored to their age, goals, and developmental stage.
Do you offer group programs or social skills groups?
At this time, our services are primarily one-on-one. However, our upcoming clinic will offer opportunities for peer-based learning, social development, and caregiver connections in a supportive environment.
What happens if my child struggles during sessions?
We expect behaviors to arise; that’s part of why we’re here. Our staff is trained to respond with compassion, patience, and skill. Every behavior is treated as a learning opportunity, never with shame or judgment.
My child gets services through Early Intervention (EI). Can I still get ABA through my health insurance?
Yes, your child can receive ABA through your health insurance even if they already get EI services. ABA is often used to supplement EI by providing extra hours, focused skill-building, and behavior support. We routinely:
• collaborate with EI providers so goals and strategies match,
• begin ABA while families wait for EI or additional EI hours, and
• offer flexible locations (home, daycare, or community) to fit your child’s routine.
Insurance plans differ, so we can help you check benefits, explain what’s covered, and support the authorization process.
My child isn’t getting the recommended EI hours. Can ABA make up the difference and how does coordination work?
Absolutely — ABA can fill gaps when EI hours aren’t enough. Here’s how it typically works:
• Individualized plan: We create an ABA program focused on the priorities EI has identified (communication, play, daily living, behavior) so the work builds on, not duplicates, EI goals.
• Coordinated care: With parental consent, our team shares goals, progress notes, and strategies with EI providers to keep therapy consistent across settings.
• Flexible scheduling & settings: ABA can add extra hours at home, in daycare, or both — scheduled to complement your child’s EI sessions.
• Insurance & logistics: Most families use health insurance to cover ABA while EI is provided through state early intervention programs. Coverage rules vary, and some plans require a diagnosis or prior authorization; we’ll help you review your benefits and handle paperwork.
Have you worked with children who were asked to leave daycare due to behavioral concerns?
Yes, we support many families in this situation. Our team offers individualized care within daycare settings, providing children with the necessary support to play and follow directions. We also collaborate closely with parents, offering practical strategies to help their child thrive.
