We have officially hit our two year anniversary with Family First. The truth is we have been working with Family first for around three years. And I can say this with complete honesty, they are absolutely AMAZING! Dr. Weiers is nothing short of spectacular herself. From the moment meeting her I knew she was a God send. Her knowledge, reassurance, compassion, commitment and kindness are unmatched. After getting a start date for our son, we learned that he was going to be assigned a main BCBA. AP was blessed with getting Lily. That doesn’t mean we don’t love Chelsey, and Laken as well, because we do! But let me say this. Lily is 100% a perfect match for AP, and our family. She goes above and beyond to make sure that AP is loved, taken care of, as well as myself and his father. She doesn’t need to do that, but she does because she’s a wonderful human being. And that is just the kind of people you have working at Family First. The name says it all. Family, and that is what they all become, and how they make you feel. Before getting AP into ABA of course I used my friend Google. You will find some scary things. But after meeting with the staff, having meetings, conversations, getting all the questions answered I had. I felt safe and comfortable with the decision to enroll him. And I haven’t once second guessed myself. As someone who has been in law enforcement her whole life, a family member, and someone who works in it. You see and know the real evil in this world. Being a parent, that terrifies you even more. Then to add your child have special needs, only makes that fear more profound. But, I have never questioned my son’s safety, wellbeing, health, emotional standing or anything while he is in their care. It truly takes a special person to go into work everyday and get hurt, not because the child is trying to actually hurt them. But it happens. To get treated terrible by other community members. Not get the credit they deserve. But yet show up every single day, with a smile on their face. Wearing their invisible cape. These men and women that take care of the children are absolute angels and not a single person can tell me otherwise. I’ll be first to say, I know my child can be a handful. But they still love him, still protect him, still care for him, still teach him. With no hesitation. I tell everyone I can that AP’s progression is completely due to Family First. I highly recommend them to anyone that is needing help or considering ABA therapy for their child. I truly cannot put it into words how grateful I am for them! I’m simply amazed by them. God blessed us with Family First, and for that I’ll always be thankful and will always sing their praises. Dear Staff of Family First, if you are reading this. AP and I love you all from the bottom of our hearts. We thank you for everything you do, day in and day out. You’re absolutely amazing, and we wouldn’t be where we are without you. THANK YOU!!

I have had so many amazing interactions with Family First! Their staff are top tier and they have changed my life.

This place is a joke. I’ve called them on multiple occasions, I’ve left voice mails, and they refuse to send the paperwork to schedule an appointment to have my child assessed. At this point I have my doubts about the competence of their services because they repeatedly fail at basic tasks like responding to potential clientele.

At first I was excited to be reaching another step in my sons diagnosis but after several failed attempts to contact me back after several emails and voicemails being left I ended up moving forward with a more professional company who actually answers the questions you need and respond in a timely manner very disheartening and I wasted my time traveling well over an hour to have a meeting just to be told absolutely nothing which could have very much so been a video meeting in my opinion if it was a meet and greet

My son has shown great progress in learning, social skills, and speech since attending. The staff is very sweet and my son enjoys going to the center on a daily basis. The staff always tries to keep the parents informed on everything and do great welcomes and send offs for the kids. I would highly recommend this center to anyone that needs ABA therapy. We are very blessed to have our son enrolled here!!! 💙
