Welcome to Umbrella Functional Consulting & Support Team
We are here to redefine inclusion by providing services to adults with different abilities, and also to the community.
A MESSAGE FROM THE OWNER:
Finding valuable quality support for people with autism and people with disabilities is scarce in our region of Pennsylvania. As a mother of a child with severe Autism and Pica, danger lurks everywhere and parental fear is immense. Questions about the future of our children when they become adults, and what that life will be like for them, as well as for us as parents, is left unanswered, or left to dreams we aspire to provide our adult children.
What will the adult lives of our children be like? Will our children stay with us for the remainder of our days? And then what? I have dedicated my life to the goal, to be the answer I look for in society.
~Maria Duerson, M.Ed., GCT ABA, LBS, CI
