What is FirstPath Autism?
FirstPath Autism is an affordable service created by professionals in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)* that allows you to access to the same evidence-based treatments used in one-on-one therapy sessions with children with Autism. FirstPath Autism combines effective behavior management with skills training.  Our sequential treatment videos show you—using real therapeutic interactions—how to progress from behavior management through social and academic skill development. FirstPath teaches a wide array of skills that improve lifestyles for children and their families.

Who can use FirstPathAutism?
Parents/caregivers of children with Autism, professionals such as teachers, speech therapists, behavior analysts, and anyone who will be involved in a child’s treatment and educational program can utilize FirstPath Autism.

Who developed FirstPath Autism?  
FirstPath utilizes research and treatment strategies developed by O. Ivar Lovaas and B.F. Skinner, renowned experts in the field of Behavior Analysis. The FirstPath Autism program was developed by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Licensed Psychologist and other professionals in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis.  In clinical practice, the FirstPath program has achieved an 85% to 90% success rate for children intensively treated, based on three to five years of one-on-one therapy of 35-40 hours per week, and has achieved similar rates in children with less-intensive skills and behavior management programs.

I don’t know if I will have the time and energy to implement a 35-40 hours per week program.  Will FirstPath Autism still work for me and my child?  
Yes.  FirstPath Autism allows you to customize your child’s skills training so that you can work at your own pace and at your child’s comfort level.  Research does show that the more hours of skills training the better, but you will see improvement in your child’s skills and behaviors if you follow FirstPath’s strategies and treatments even if you can’t implement a more intensive schedule. 

How do I begin using FirstPath Autism?  
With your FirstPath Autism membership, you will enjoy access to the same tools and techniques used for decades by Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) professionals. This includes a growing library of videos to help you improve your child’s behaviors and skills, with easy-to-follow lesson guides accompanying each video. If you need additional help or have any questions, FirstPath offers phone support from experienced ABA professionals to help you and your child more effectively navigate your child’s program and enriched learning experiences.

Do I have to be a computer whiz to utilize FirstPath Autism?
No. FirstPath Autism provides a low-cost, long-term solution that requires no complex software. Once you receive your treatment package, you are good to go!

Can the FirstPath Autism program be used with children who aren’t diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder?  
Yes.  As research shows, Applied Behavior Analysis-based strategies and techniques can be utilized with any child for skills training, including behavior management. Behavior is treated as a skill and misbehaving can be turned around to good behavior using FirstPath Autism’s proven methods and strategies.

* What is Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)?  
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the application of behavioral procedures to socially significant behaviors. These behavioral procedures are based on the study of human behavior (behavior analysis) and basic learning theory. One of the applications of ABA is in the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders**.

** What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?  
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impairs a child’s ability to communicate and interact with others. It also includes restricted repetitive behaviors, interests and activities. These issues cause significant impairment in social, occupational and other areas of functioning. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is now defined by the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnosis and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as a single disorder that includes disorders that were previously considered separate — autism, Asperger’s syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified.
