Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention

Effective early intervention involves intensive and comprehensive applied behavior analysis (ABA) programming across all critical developmental domains for children as young as 18 months. To achieve the best outcomes, behavioral treatment typically requires 30–40 hours per week for 2–3 years, and in some cases, even longer. Families are also coached to help promote generalization across settings and situations.
