Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention
Early intervention that is effective means intensive and comprehensive applied behavior analysis programming focused across all critical developmental domains for children at ages as young as 18 months of age. For it to be the most effective, the behavioral treatment needs to be 30-40 hours a week on average for 2-3 years, and in some cases longer. Families are also coached on promoting generalization.
