Is Building Butterflies located in Montvale, NJ?

How is DIR Floortime different from ABA therapy in New Jersey?

ABA therapy focuses primarily on modifying specific behaviors through structured reinforcement. DIR Floortime therapy takes a fundamentally different approach by addressing the emotional and relational foundations that all learning and development are built on. Rather than directing your child toward predetermined outcomes, DIR Floortime follows your child's lead, builds genuine connection, and grows communication and social skills naturally through joyful interaction. Many Bergen County families choose DIR Floortime as a compassionate alternative or complement to ABA.

Do you work with Montvale and Bergen County school districts?

Yes. Our school-based DIR Floortime support program allows our therapists to work directly within school environments across Montvale and Bergen County including Woodcliff Lake, Park Ridge, Ramsey, and Mahwah. We collaborate with teachers, classroom aides, and school support teams to implement DIR Floortime principles throughout the school day, helping children build communication, emotional regulation, and peer connection skills.

What age groups do you serve at your Montvale clinic?

Building Butterflies works with children from toddlers through school age at our Montvale, NJ clinic and across Bergen County. Early intervention is one of the most impactful investments a family can make, and our DIR Floortime therapy is especially effective for young children in the critical early developmental window. We also work with older children who are ready for a more relationship-centered approach to growth.
