Website Spotlight: First Path Autism

"Why are the keys to effective and affordable autism treatment being kept from parents or care providers?" FirstPath Autism began because of this fundamental question.

About 1 in 68 children has been identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ASD reportedly occurs in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups.* Given this reach, one would think a wealth of well-vetted treatment options and resources are readily available. Currently, the high cost of therapy and endless layers of policy inhibiting access present an agonizing and formidable barrier.

At the Genesis Behavior Center in Turlock, California, founder Romina Kiryakous (aka "Romey") saw just how much Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques helped local children. The Genesis Center has treated a broad range of children with autism for the past 12 years and achieved an astounding 85%-95% improvement rate.**

Her goal for developing FirstPath Autism is to provide support and affordable access to the effective training techniques of ABA to parents, caregivers, teachers, school counselors, regional centers, funding sources, pediatricians, insurance companies, and psychologists so more children with autism can benefit.

FirstPath Autism Phone Support Service:
The FirstPath Autism support service, can be thought of as an “autism-lifeline,” providing a broad range of help from ABA professionals which includes live, unlimited phone support (9am – 5pm PST) for individualized solutions and problem solving. FirstPath Autism brings vital and easily accessible help to parents immediately following an autism diagnosis, when navigating treatment options can be daunting and confusing. The phone support can be a backbone for parents as questions arise throughout the treatment process, or when families, teachers, or therapists are challenged with highly stressful social behaviors.
