FirstThen, an early-stage technology company specializing in the development of family-centered digital solutions used to treat pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders, has been selected as the inaugural recipient of the City of Richardson’s Research Award Match Program (RAMP) support. 

The company’s selection is based on FirstThen having already secured a Phase I award from the National Science Foundation’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The SBIR program fosters innovation by supporting small businesses that are driving economic growth by bringing new technologies to market. As part of the RAMP program, FirstThen will receive support from the City to expand its current capabilities and develop its technologies in ways that create economic opportunity in Richardson.  

FirstThen’s core technology is focused on addressing a massive unmet need for non-medication treatments for pediatric Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Their work will positively impact children, families and society by making evidence-based behavioral interventions accessible and affordable.
