Autism is a spectrum of disorders that disrupts a child's development of social skills, communication, and behavior. ASD affects an estimated 1 in 59 children, with the rate continuing to grow. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a science-based method that focuses on how people learn, and has been shown to be most effective for treating autism, especially if treatment is both early and intensive.
For over 15 years, ABA Academy has been providing this therapy to children with Autism, while offering critical resources and instruction to families and caretakers of those affected by the disorder.
The mission of ABA Academy is to provide quality applied behavior analysis services in a fun, caring environment to families and caretakers of children with autism and other developmental challenges.
Children with autism continue to require behavioral therapy even during global pandemics! Therapy hours were reduced, but we continued providing the much-needed care for our most challenging clients. Anxiety disorders are experienced by approximately 40% of people with Autism and the pandemic has heightened these numbers. Parent training is essential.
Funds raised through North Texas Giving Day will to help ABA Academy:
+ Award Scholarships to help cover costs for treatment not covered by insurance
+ Offer Community Training for caregivers, neighbors and community helpers
+ Provide new therapy materials and play equipment for our clients
