Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI)
The goal of Early Intensive Behavior Intervention is to change a child’s learning trajectory so that the child’s rate of learning approaches that of a typically developing peer. EIBI is characterized by the following:
EARLY
INTENSIVE
BEHAVIORAL
Early Intervention begins as soon as a diagnosis is confirmed. EIBI may produce the greatest gains when intervention is started before age 2.
Early Intervention is usually provided for approximately 15 to 25 hours per week.
Early Intervention is focused on the objective identification of skill deficits and behavioral excesses, and the use of teaching tactics derived from ABA to build functional skills
Early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI), is an evidence-based, comprehensive intervention for autism spectrum disorder based on the principles of ABA.
What is Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention?
Early intervention is significant to treatment. Our programs address skill deficits faced by children with autism in a fun and rewarding way in all developmental areas, including communication, language, play, social skills, imitation and cognition, motor skills, daily living skills, and emotional regulation. As part of our comprehensive early intervention treatment programs, we also provide comprehensive parent, therapist, and teacher training, which allows for teamwork and collaboration and better results.
Our Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention Program is developed and tailored to each individual child, in order to teach the critical foundation skills necessary for long-term success. Pediatric Therapy Studio is devoted to enhancing overall quality of life through treatment focused upon the development of improved social interaction, play and leisure skills, meaningful communication, classroom readiness, peer relationships and improved independence.
Progress is achieved through the use of specialized teaching techniques, training and support for families, and a focus on teaching and increasing appropriate behaviors.

What type of therapy is recommended for articulation (pronunciation and talking) difficulties?
Diagnosis alone is NOT the solution. It simply opens the door to getting the help that is needed by arming all involved with the relevant information.
If your child has difficulties with behavior management, it is recommended they consult a Behavior Specialist to receive an evaluation to see if they require therapeutic intervention.
