Chat With Bader

👦💬 Hi I’m Bader. I’m just like you — a kid who sometimes feels things that are hard to explain. But guess what? Talking helps

First Step Counseling Center is the first center in the Arabian Gulf countries to be accredited by the International Council for Accreditation of Standards for Continuing Education and Training. It is also the first center in Kuwait to provide comprehensive assessment and intervention services for children suffering from developmental, behavioral and psychological disorders such as: autism spectrum disorder, hyperactivity and attention deficit, language delay, and other developmental disorders that children are exposed to in the early stages of life. We have a unique and distinctive experience in the field of early intervention from comprehensive assessment to building and implementing individual treatment plans.The center includes a group of specialized professionals who lead the way in new developments in the State of Kuwait, as First Step Center is an ambitious, forward-thinking specialized center. At First Step Center, we provide specialized and purposeful individual programs for our children to ensure the development of their skills and independence by providing high-quality, evidence-based intervention that combines the principles of applied behavior analysis, sensory integration, speech and language therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. “First Step”… Where the dream began and turned into reality It all started with boundless passion and a vision that believes that every child deserves a chance to grow and develop. Experience and ambition came together, and the dream turned into a vibrant center, where we work every day to make a real difference. From a small idea to a pioneering entity, the journey was filled with determination, dedication, and love. And the story is still being written… Our Vision and Mission. Our vision is rooted in the belief that every person deserves access to the highest quality of care, personal attention, and innovative solutions. In our keenness to be at the forefront of providing rehabilitation services, we sought to create an organized environment that includes a multidisciplinary team, including behavior analysts and technicians, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, and psychologists. Through this, we aim to provide applied behavior analysis on a scientific basis for intervention, and to enhance functional skills that enable the child to rely on himself in performing his daily functions, at home, school and in the community. We also strive to provide effective and organized ways to help children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder develop faster, in line with their individual needs.
