At PRAISE, our mission is to deliver high-quality behavior analytic services tailored to the unique needs of individuals with disabilities and their support networks.

Early Start
We are proud to offer Early Start services as a vendor for Tri-Counties Regional Center, supporting infants and toddlers (birth to age 3) as they build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Although our agency specializes in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Early Start is a distinct, family-centered program that supports development across a wide range of areas—including communication, social interaction, motor skills, and self-help. Services are play-based, relationship-driven, and delivered in natural environments such as the home or community.
Depending on your child’s needs, services may include developmental specialists, parent coaching, and other individualized supports—all provided at no cost to families through the regional center.
If you've been referred by TCRC or are curious whether Early Start might be a good fit for your child, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. TCRC’s Early Start Website
Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs)
A key component of our approach is conducting Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs). These assessments help us identify the underlying causes of challenging behaviors by analyzing the relationship between the behavior and the environment. Our BCBAs use the insights gained from FBAs to develop targeted, effective behavior intervention plans that address the specific needs of each individual.
In-Home ABA Services
Our in-home ABA services bring individualized support directly to your home environment. This approach allows our BCBAs and trained Behavior Technicians to work closely with individuals in a familiar setting, addressing behaviors and skills in the context of daily life.
In-Clinic ABA Services
Our clinic-based ABA services provide a structured environment where individuals can receive one-on-one therapy. Our clinic sessions focus on specific goals around communication, social skills, and adaptive behaviors. We also emphasize the importance of generalization, working to ensure that the skills learned in the clinic transfer to home, school, and other community settings, supporting long-term success across all areas of life.
Social Skills Groups
We offer social skills groups that provide individuals with the opportunity to practice and develop social interactions in a supportive group setting. These groups are designed to enhance communication, cooperation, and relationship-building skills.

Parent Training
We believe that parents are a crucial part of the intervention process. Our parent training programs equip caregivers with the knowledge and strategies needed to effectively support their loved ones. We provide hands-on guidance and resources to help parents reinforce positive behaviors and manage challenging ones.
Consultation Services
Our consultation services are available for schools, group homes, day programs, and other organizations that support individuals with disabilities. We work collaboratively with your team to assess needs, develop behavior support plans, and provide training to staff to ensure consistent and effective implementation of positive behavior support strategies
Generalization and Maintenance
After treatment, maintaining progress is essential. We work with families and support systems to ensure long-term success by providing ongoing support after treatment. This includes regular check-ins, guidance on maintaining skills, and assistance in keeping problem behavior at bay.
