Ochwepheshe be-autism yobuntwana be-Caravel bagxile ekuletheni ukwelapha kwe-Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I-ABA iwukwelapha okusekelwe ebufakazini okuye kwafakazelwa ukuthi iyindlela yokwelapha ephumelela kakhulu yezingane ezine-autism. “I-ABA iyashintsha impilo futhi kufanele itholakale kunoma iyiphi ingane eyidingayo, kodwa kukhona ukushoda kwabahlinzeki emiphakathini eminingi kakhulu,” ngokusho kukaMike Miller, Isikhulu Esiphezulu seCaravel. “Sikhethe isifunda sase-Historic Mitchell Street ngoba iCaravel izibophezele ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi izingane kuyo YONKE imiphakathi zithola ukwelashwa okungcono kakhulu okutholakalayo.” UCaravel uvule umtholampilo ngasekupheleni kukaNovemba ukuze usize imindeni kule ndawo ehlukahlukene, engu-77.4% yesiLatinX.
"Isihluthulelo semiphumela engcono yezingane ezine-autism ukuzihlinzeka ngekhwalithi yokwelashwa kwe-ABA zisencane," ngokusho koMqondisi Womtholampilo u-Alicia Ehlen, BCBA, LBA, LPC. “Ngeshwa, ucwaningo olwenziwa yi-CDC luphakamisa ukuthi izingane zase-Hispanic kanye nabaNsundu zibhekana nezithiyo zezenhlalo nezomnotho nezinye. Lezi zithiyo zingaholela ekubambezelekeni kokufinyelela noma ukungakwazi ukuthola ukuhlolwa okufanele, ukuxilonga, nokwelashwa,” kuchaza yena. "I-Caravel iza emiphakathini ukuze ixazulule lokho kuhlukana futhi ilinganise inkundla yokudlala."
Izinhlelo ze-ABA zisiza izingane ezine-autism ukuthi zithuthukise ulimi nokuxhumana, amakhono omphakathi, ukunaka, ukugxila, nokusebenza kobuhlakani. Ithimba le-Caravel eMitchell Street lihlinzeka ngamasevisi ngazo zombili iSpanishi nesiNgisi.
I-Caravel izobamba ukusika iribhoni ngoLwesithathu, Disemba 15 ukugubha lesi sisetshenziswa esisha semindeni.
