Early Intervention Behavior Program
EIBP (Early
Intensive Behavioral Program) is intended for children
between the ages of 24 months and 6 years of age who have
a diagnosis of Autism or ASD. Each child’s program generally
consists of 30 to 40 hours per week of 1:1 intervention.
The model is ‘team-based’ where ABC
provides assessment, initial and on-going training, weekly
consultation, supervision, lesson development/progression
and troubleshooting. Each child’s ABA program is
individualized where systematic teaching focuses on those
deficits that prevent him or her participating and interacting
with family and peers. Critical skills such as initiation,
language, play, self-help, and socialization are taught
to the child. Day to day routines are also established
in each child’s repertoire to encourage generalization
of learned concepts and skills as they are taught within
ABC’s generalization framework (R.E.A.L.; Terzich,
1996).
