Mental Health Practice – Autism Learning Institute
Autism Learning Institute (ALI) is an Applied Behavior Analysis therapy provider based in Chatham, New Jersey, delivering ABA services across Morris, Union, Essex, and Somerset counties. Additional locations serve Madison, Summit, New Providence, Morristown, Florham Park, Newark, Dover, Hillsborough, Livingston, East Hanover, and Long Branch.
The practice specializes in serving children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and co-occurring conditions. Clinical staff include Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT), who carry out individualized treatment following comprehensive behavioral assessments. The practice describes its vetting and screening processes for all staff as thorough.
Service delivery takes place across four settings: center-based, in-home, community-based, and school-based ABA therapy. Alongside ABA, the practice provides occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy services within the same organization. Treatment planning is individualized, with an emphasis on social-emotional development and building independence for each child served.
The Chatham center-based location is accessible via Routes 24, 78, and 287, providing convenient access for families traveling from surrounding counties. ALI accepts insurance, and new clients can initiate the intake process through the practice’s patient management portal. No specific year of establishment is stated on the website.
The practice’s stated focus is on evidence-based intervention that supports each child’s unique developmental trajectory. Families are described as collaborative partners throughout the treatment process. Client testimonials on the site reference outcomes such as gains in verbal communication among non-verbal children, increased day-to-day independence, and successful transitions into mainstream educational settings, though ALI presents these as reported experiences rather than guaranteed results. The practice serves a pediatric population across a wide geographic footprint within central and northern New Jersey.
