Learning Centers

Our Centers represent the heart of our organization. They are where we first meet our families and your beautiful children, where our staff collaborate and learn, where our administrative team ensures the wheels never stop turning for your kids, and most critically, where your children’s treatment plan is developed, reviewed, and often implemented.

Given that we support our children in any and all environments optimal for their learning, our Centers were built accordingly. With kid endorsed art and décor, spectacular murals, fully stocked toy libraries, group-learning “classrooms,” and focused learning pods for 1:1 instruction, our children have endless opportunities to learn and thrive.

We look forward to welcoming you to your local FirstSteps Center where you will discover your new supportive ABA community!

This Center was established in conjunction with the USC graduate program with the specific mission to help bring ABA to historically underserved areas. Our Center at the beautiful Alhambra campus sits among red brick buildings, sprawling tree-lined walkways, and side by side other health and wellness practices, including the East Los Angeles Regional Center.
