First Step Children's Network

First Step Children’s Network is a clinician-led, BCBA-founded provider of applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for children with autism in California’s Inland Empire. Serving families across Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the organization offers personalized, evidence-based care designed around each child’s needs and goals. Services are available in center-based or in-home settings and include functional behavior assessments, individualized treatment plans, direct therapy, caregiver training, and consultations.

The team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Behavior Technicians supports children with communication, social, play, emotional, and daily-living skills, as well as behavioral challenges such as tantrums, elopement, and self-injury. First Step Children’s Network also provides dedicated scheduling support and parent consultation to help families continue their child’s progress beyond individual sessions. The organization assists families seeking guidance with health insurance and school advocacy, and offers free consultations to discuss treatment options. In addition to therapy, it shares resources and frequently asked questions and hosts in-person workshops for families new to ABA.
