What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior.

With over 60 years of evidence-based research, it is one of the best therapeutic interventions available. Therapy programs focus on increasing behaviors that are helpful and decreasing behaviors that are harmful or affect learning.

ABA can also help increase language and communication skills, improve attention, focus, social skills, memory and academics.

“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, we must teach the way they learn.”

– Ignacio Estrada

Philosophy & Mission

At Kuleana Care, we believe it is our Kuleana (“responsibility”) to provide our clients and their families with effective and appropriate ABA services. We strive to help each individual reach their full potential, and to create a more inclusive Maui community.

Our company values include:

Effectiveness: We believe in learning from our mistakes and using evidence based approaches to make the biggest impact.  We know our interventions to work, because our data proves it. 

Inclusion: Our students are our biggest teachers. We welcome students of all backgrounds and abilities, and strive for inclusion in all facets of life. 

Safety: All students and staff have the right to feel safe on our campus. Our preparation and daily decisions are made with everyone’s accessibility and security in mind. 

Community:  Our partnership with the Maui community is one of our biggest assets. Through place-based educational opportunities, students become immersed in local culture, history, and environment. 

Empowerment: Empowered students are more motivated to participate in the learning process. We individualize each student’s curriculum based on their strengths, needs, and interests to make their education as meaningful as possible. 

Responsibility (Kuleana): As children of the world, it is our Kuleana to leave people and places better than we found them. We operate with integrity: doing what is expected of us, keeping agreements, and operating in a way that is consistent with our mission and values. 

Our program operates with just three universal rules consistent with our values:

  •  We take care of ourselves
  •  We take care of each other
  •  We take care of the things around us

Join The Team!

We are looking for individuals who love working with children and who are open to learning about ABA therapy!
