PARSIPPANY – A new franchise, “Success on the Spectrum,” has opened its doors at 2200 Route 10 West (Morris Plains).
Success on the Spectrum (SOS), owned by Vick Khabra, is a facility with many amenities that provides ABA therapy, Speech therapy, and Occupational therapy for children with Autism and Caregiver training for parents. The franchise was founded in Houston, Texas, by Nichole Daher, the franchise owner, and in 2018 became the first Autism treatment franchise in the United States. Healthcare Business Review honorably awarded them as the Top ABA Service Provider in 2024.
Success on the Spectrum is the ideal place for children aged 2 to 18 and on the autism spectrum to receive quality therapy through multiple forms. Owner Vick Khabra was excited to announce that, in honor of their grand opening, they will waive their annual registration fee of $250 for a short period. SOS is insurance-based and accepts all insurances, including Medicaid, to reduce parents’ out-of-pocket costs.
Vick and his team at Success on the Spectrum are passionate about helping their community using the most influential science methods, a fun environment, community outings, safety, and high parent involvement to help their clients make the most progress possible. The handpicked staff, who are CPR and Safety-Care certified, use their skills to assist children in developing self-control, independence, and a positive self-concept. The 5000 sq ft+ facility includes a sensory room, mock classroom, art room, cafeteria, social room, and a unique sensory gym.
ABA therapy focuses on teaching social skills, language and communication, academic skills, emotional development, cognitive functioning, play/leisure, fine motor, and self-care skills. Mayor Jamie Barberio was in attendance along with Parsippany Economic Development Chairman Frank Cahill, Economic Development member Jigar Shah, Parsippany-Troy Hills Council Vice President Frank Neglia, Councilman Justin Musella, and Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce President Robert Peluso with Board members Ildiko Peluso and Nicolas Limanov. Baberio said, “I’m glad Success on the Spectrum decided to come to Parsippany. We have many children in need, and parents need to have the outreach this provides. I think this will be good for the township.”
