Early Start Program
Our Mission
The purpose of the Early Start Program is to provide ABA services in an age-appropriate environment that will promote independence, create routines that allow for increased learning opportunities as well as develop prosocial behaviors and generalize skills to the home environment.
Our Philosophy
Our goal is to see our clients grow into happy, contributing members
of society. We believe that parents and families lay the foundation for
their child’s success, and it is primarily the family’s responsibility to
shape their children into the best version of themselves they can be.
We exist to support families in this endeavor by teaching them behavior analytic strategies and addressing individualized needs for each child and family. Combining ABA, parent training, and continuity across environments is foundational for developing a healthy parent/child balance in the home and community.
Currently offered at our Killeen and Temple locations!

Our program is not a pre-school but is furnished with age-appropriate activities in a size-appropriate environment. Your child will be provided a one-on-one ABA therapist who will follow a structured routine and teach new skills in the clinic.
Parent Involvement:
Scheduled parent trainings are a critical part of our early start program as parents will learn to implement ABA strategies with their child at home.

“At the end of the day, the most overwhelming key to a child’s success is the positive involvement of parents.”
