ABA Therapy
What is autism?
Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), is a developmental condition characterized by differences in social interaction, communication, and behavior. It affects how individuals perceive and interact with the world, leading to varying levels of support needs. Symptoms and abilities can range widely, and early intervention and support can greatly enhance quality of life and development.
What is ABA therapy?
ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientifically validated approach used to improve specific behaviors and skills in individuals with autism. By applying principles of learning and behavior, ABA therapy helps increase desired behaviors and reduce unwanted ones through structured, individualized interventions and positive reinforcement. Its goal is to enhance communication, social skills, and adaptive functioning.
How do I know if my child has autism or ASD?
Signs of autism or ASD can include challenges with social interactions, communication difficulties, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Observing these traits early can be crucial. A formal diagnosis is made by a healthcare professional through comprehensive evaluations and assessments. If you have concerns, consult with a specialist or developmental pediatrician for a thorough assessment and guidance.
How will my child benefit from ABA therapy for autism?
ABA therapy helps children by improving their communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. Through structured, individualized interventions and positive reinforcement, ABA therapy addresses specific challenges and promotes desired behaviors, enhancing independence and overall quality of life. It provides tailored strategies to support your child’s needs and developmental goals.
How long does ABA therapy typically last?
The duration of ABA therapy varies depending on your child’s needs and goals. Some children may benefit from several hours per week over a few months, while others may require ongoing therapy for years.

Hospice care
What is hospice care?
What is the difference between hospice and palliative care?
Palliative care provides comfort-focused care and symptom management at any stage of a serious illness, often while patients are still receiving treatment. Hospice care begins when treatment is no longer the focus and life expectancy is six months or less. Both emphasize dignity, relief from pain, and quality of life, but hospice provides an added layer of holistic support for both patients and families.
