What Is ABA Therapy?
ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis—a therapy that helps kids learn new skills, improve communication, and reduce behaviors that get in the way of everyday life. Think of it as teaching through encouragement, repetition, and lots of positive reinforcement!
At Above My Umbrella – ABA Therapy, we use ABA to break big goals into small, achievable steps. Whether it’s helping your child follow directions, express their needs, or build independence—we meet them where they are and celebrate every win along the way. It’s all about progress, not perfection, and making learning fun, meaningful, and personalized just for your child.
How Many Hours Do Clients Receive?
The number of ABA therapy hours your child receives depends on their individual needs, goals, current behavioral challenges and the results of their initial assessment. Children receive between 10 to 40 hours per week of therapy.
We offer two types of programs:
- Focused ABA (10–25 hours/week): For children who need support in specific areas like communication, daily routines, or behavior.
- Comprehensive ABA (30–40 hours/week): For children who benefit from a more intensive, full-day program targeting multiple areas of development.
In some cases, if clinically appropriate and approved or recommended by your insurance provider, services may be provided in the 25–30 hour range/week.
We’ll work with you during the assessment process to recommend a schedule that’s right for your child—and your family.

Do You Offer Bilingual Services?
Yes! Above My Umbrella – ABA Therapy we are proud to offer bilingual services in English and Spanish. Our clinicians and some of our RBTs are fluent in both languages, allowing us to better connect with families and support children in a way that feels natural and culturally respectful.
To ensure the best experience for each family, RBTs are assigned based on the specific needs and language preferences of the client whenever possible. We believe that communication is key to progress—and we’re here to support you every step of the way, in the language you’re most comfortable with.
