ABA Therapy with Umbrella Care Academy
Umbrella Care Academy offers in-home ABA therapy for children with autism. We strive to enhance the lives of the individuals we work with by utilizing the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with evidence-based effective treatment. Our purpose is to assist in creating social engagement, learning opportunities, behavior change of social significance, and add meaningful experiences to family life.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to teaching children with autism how to learn and behave, based on the idea that a child’s behavior can be changed by understanding the causes of the behavior and then using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors. In-home ABA therapy involves an ABA therapist and parent working together to create a safe and comfortable learning environment for the child. A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst will create and oversee the individualized goals and objectives for the child that are tailored to their needs. These goals can range from teaching the child basic skills like potty training, to more complex skills like improving communication, social skills, and problem-solving. The ABA therapist will use positive reinforcement to reward the child for desired behaviors and to encourage them to keep trying. In-home ABA therapy is ideal for children with autism because it allows them to learn in a familiar and comfortable environment. This helps them to feel more relaxed and less anxious, which can lead to better results in the long run. The therapist and parent or caregiver also have the opportunity to observe the child in their own environment, which can provide valuable insight into the child’s behavior. By involving the parent or caregiver, in-home ABA therapy also helps to ensure that the child’s progress is consistent and that they are making progress in all areas of their development. Umbrella Care Academy provides services from birth through age 18.
