Using state of the art, empirically validated ABA treatment, our highly skilled therapy teams work to remediate social, communicative, adaptive skills, and academic functioning while simultaneously reducing and decelerating maladaptive behavior.

At FirstSteps, we employ only the most highly qualified and caring instructors to implement each child’s treatment. We insist upon accurate and on-going assessment to create individualized and comprehensive treatment plans, and empower parents with the specific skills essential to support their child’s learning.
