Eden Autism Services

Autism or autistic-like language and behavior disorders, preschool disabilities.
Eden Autism Services is a recognized leader in treating children and adults with autism, with more than four decades of best practice experience. Unique among our peers, Eden provides a lifetime of support—from the point of diagnosis through the school years and into adulthood. We are a community of children and adults with autism, teachers, job coaches, direct care-givers, parents, guardians, and friends—a diverse group of people with a passion for Eden and all that we accomplish together.
The Eden School provides year-round educational services for children and adolescents with autism, ages 3-21. Extended school year Day and Residential programs are available during the summer months. Teaching techniques are based on the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA), and each student's curriculum is tailored to his or her specific needs and abilities and based on individual, annual assessments.
The Adult Day and Employment Services builds upon progress that was made during the school years. We work with adults to continue developing behaviors and skills that support community engagement and employment. While not every individual is able to be or chooses to be employed, the day program is weighted toward vocational training and securing employment opportunities.
The Adult Residential program offers year-round, community-based residential services that promote the personal growth and independence of our participants. Eden operates multiple group homes and apartments in central New Jersey. These residences generally serve two to six adults and employ staff who work rotating shifts 24/7, 365 days of the year.
Eden’s curriculum and philosophy of community integration allow the adults we support to experience opportunities for learning and engaging with peers on a daily basis. We encourage parents, guardians, and siblings to participate in the continued growth and development of their loved ones.
Eden's Outreach Services Division provides a range of services designed to extend lifespan services for individuals with autism beyond Eden's doors, as well as to ensure continuity and accountability within the Eden Services. Outreach Services staff also oversee the publication of Eden's curriculum materials.
For Adult Services; the support coordinator or NJ DDD would request placement. Upon an opening, an in person interview with the family and participant would be scheduled.
All admissions questions can be directed to the Chief Program Officer, Dr. Rachel Tait at rachel.tait@edenautism.org
