FirstSteps for Kids

FirstSteps for Kids, Inc. specializes in improving the lives of children diagnosed with Autism, PDD, Asperger?s syndrome, and related disorders. 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. Together, with dedicated parents and families, we are committed to making each child?s firststeps the right steps towards a brighter future. FirstSteps has offices in Hermosa Beach, West Los Angeles, Northern LA/Ventura Counties, East Los Angeles County and Contra Costa County. Mission:?The FirstSteps Team is inspired by the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to achieve his or her fullest potential. To that end, our mission is twofold: 1) to provide the best possible evidence-based behavior analytic treatment to our children, and 2) to offer a positive, collaborative and dynamic work environment for our staff. Our greatest reward is the progress of our kids and the knowledge that we are making a positive impact on our families and the community.
