"We've had a great experience with Aluma Care. Our biggest goal has always been for our child to become more independent, and we've seen so much growth throughout this journey. The communication was excellent, and I always felt informed and involved in my child's progress."

What were your biggest goals when starting ABA therapy?

“For us, the main concern has always been communication. We want her [our daughter] to be able to communicate, whether it's verbally or on the device [AAC device]. At the time, she didn't have a device. We were mainly trying the verbal, trying to get her to at least have single words. And we were still using some sign language at the time too. It still is one of our big goals. It's always going to be communication. Just so she can plan for the future and have a normal flow of a conversation. Whether it's verbally or on her device.”

What changes and progress have you seen since starting ABA therapy?

“We're really impressed with everything that she's accomplished within the last year. What she had learned in school and what she got from here [Aluma Care], and then combining them and working together. Night and day difference.

I mean if you saw her a year ago, you wouldn't even think it's the same kid.
‍
‍I used to get home and she would just come up and walk away. Never said anything. Now I get home, ‘Daddy!’ And it's like she's actually talking and telling me what she's doing.
‍
I typically call when they get ready to get dropped off at school and I tell them to have a good day and she'll say, ‘Good day!’”

How would you describe your communication and experience with the Aluma Care team?

“The communication has always been excellent. It was way past my initial expectations.
‍
‍They [the Aluma Care team] went above and beyond on communication.
‍
‍...
‍
She [our BCBA] always answered my questions. She always made sure that I was, even at the end of the phone call, ... ‘do you have any questions for me?’
‍
‍The communication was above and beyond what anyone else would do.
‍
‍There was a lot of good communication, and we always bounced everything off of each other.”

What are you most excited about as your child continues to grow and develop her communication skills?

“He's [Kyle, husband] always telling me, ‘I can't wait.’ He's like, ‘I can't wait for her to just rattle.’
‍
I told him too, I was like, ‘She learns. You can see it. Like you can see her processing everything.’ It's just the communication part. Getting it all out.
‍
‍The second she learns, ... she's not going to want to stop talking.
‍
‍And I said, [Kyle] ‘I'll be okay with that.’”
