IABA’s Early and Intermediate Intervention Services (EIIS) provides comprehensive and empirically validated one-to-one instruction services based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, including discrete trial instruction. EIIS supports children and adolescents by teaching them a wide variety of skills based on an individually designed plan. The goals of EIIS are to assist every child in reaching his or her individual potential so that he or she may take advantage of opportunities in the community and become a contributing member of society, with a full range of social relationships and friendships. Services are provided in home, school and community settings.
Intensive Support Services are based on a comprehensive functional assessment of an individual’s challenging behavior. The purpose of the assessment is to assist the individual in securing the programming and services which would enable him or her to develop and to use individual capabilities for more independent, normal living and more productive activity than their behavior problems presently permit. Consistent with IABA philosophy, this service does not employ strategies that might be described as aversive or punishing. Services are provided in home, school and community settings and include assessment, consultation, and/or intervention.
The long range goal of intensive Support Services is to establish enough self-control over challenging behavior so that the individual will be able to live and attend school in the least restrictive setting possible that is capable of meeting his or her developmental and behavioral needs.
Behavioral Respite Services provide respite to families with children diagnosed with a developmental disability within a structured, goal-oriented setting by staff trained in behavioral strategies. Our goal is to provide opportunities for families to lead typical lives, integrate the individual into community, recreational, social, and cultural events and activities. We assist the individual and family by providing additional support in that setting so that he or she will continue living at home.
Our Philosophy is that individuals who receive behavior intervention services through IABA should:
• Receive the services necessary to reach their individual
potential so they may take advantage of opportunities in the
community and become a contributing member of society.
• Live in the least restrictive setting and have lifestyles like
individuals without developmental disabilities.
• Receive support services consistent with the desires and
changing needs of the individual and their family.
• Receive appropriate services in natural settings.
