The Umbrella Center

Since my son has switched from his previous ABA center to TUC he has made leaps and strides! He was at the last place for 3 years and the progress he’s made is not comparable at all. He was partially non verbal before the transition and now he can speak in sentences and answer questions. Not to mention that his behavior has come way down, which is AMAZING! His BCBA takes the concerns/ideas I have and listens to me. I am so grateful for this clinic and the staff that work with my son. If you’re looking for a center where you’re going to be listened to and actually heard for your child this is the place.

I will say, their whole structure is terrible. There’s always 1 person that can ruin the whole experience for you. When there is a pole made asking if “when you started did you think zia hated you?”, it’s not funny or cute.. it’s a problem. For a person to look and act so miserable when you’re working at an autism center and having a good positive attitude is necessary, I can’t believe this person hasn’t been reprimanded or let go. This person took a huge disliking towards me, even “accidentally” checked that I was unprofessional on a review and when I asked about it she said it was a mistake and that it would be fixed, it never was. They make you feel intimidated by just staring at you when you’re with your client. I made positive changes and saw a lot of growth with the kids I was assigned to. They had the nerve to say I wasn’t engaging with them enough because a new abca who felt like she wasn’t doing her job if she didn’t find negative things to say. It’s a game of playing kiss 🍑 and hoping to God you dont become a target of that miserable goblin Zia. The programs are horrible and boring for the children there, you can only show one pictures of emotions and ask how they’re feeling before that kid gets annoyed and bored. One of the children they had me with was so used to being on the couch all morning I encouraged to play with new toys and engage in activities he hadn’t before, I even taught him new words and ways to avoid tantrums, that is the child they had the nerve to say I wasn’t engaged with.. be careful if you take your child here.. they may get stuck in a routine that is unhealthy just as most of their employees are because they’d rather be stuck on a couch and not engaging in trying to get them to try something new

What a wonderful organization that makes a major impact on the well being of ABA children. Great staff & leadership.

Great facility that is ran professionally !! Clean environment where the kids are first 🐾
