WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER
A First Step Towards Hope is driven first, and foremost, by the motivation to serve others.
It is scientifically proven that human behavior influences human behavior and that the nurturing of ‘positive’ relationships are influential in not only therapeutic progress, but in life itself.
It is our belief that in addition to the science of behavior analysis, collaborative and supportive relationships of all people invested in the learner results in the most effective outcomes.
Our goal is to form relationships for the purpose of achieving
progress that has never been seen before. We believe that the scientific knowledge and application of ABA therapy along
with this relationship building is the root of success.
"After nearly a year of services with A First Step Towards Hope, my husband and I can say without hesitation that this ABA company has been a life changing experience for our daughter and our entire family."
