Early Start Program
The Early Start Program is designed to deliver Applied Behavior (ABA) services in an age-appropriate setting. Our focus is on fostering independence and establishing routines that enhance learning opportunities. We aim to develop prosocial behaviors and ensure that skills are effectively generalized to the home environment. Join us in creating a supportive pathway for growth development.
Our Philosophy
Our goal is to see our clients grow into happy, successful members
of society. We believe that parents and families lay the foundation for
their child’s success, and it is through family support and guidance
alongside effective ABA services that we help children achieve that
success.
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!
