ABA Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention
If your child is showing autism symptoms or perhaps is recently diagnosed with autism, it's important to get early intensive behavioural intervention treatment or EIBI as soon as possible.
EIBI aims to help young children with autism improve their physical, emotional and social functioning through adaptive behaviour and pivotal response training. Early intervention helps autistic children learn appropriate behaviour which they can carry through their lives.
What is Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention?
Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention is an individualised, intensive therapy approach rooted in the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). This program is specifically designed for children typically between the ages of 2 and 6 diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders or who may experience delays in communication, socialisation, or adaptive skills.
Autistic children often exhibit challenging behaviour and EIBI treatment can help reduce or eliminate such behaviours through positive behaviour support and discrete trial training. Early intervention also helps increase their chances to have the capability to integrate in mainstream schools once they grow up.
By targeting key areas of development, EIBI helps children build foundational skills and overcome barriers, fostering independence and confidence.
Who Can Benefit from Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention?
When it comes to intervention techniques catered to young autistic children, EIBI is a recommended treatment plan. EIBI is ideal for children who:
- Show delays in communication, social, or play skills.
- Experience difficulty with daily tasks like following instructions or transitioning between activities.
- Have been diagnosed with developmental disabilities delays or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
- Can benefit from structured, individualised support to enhance the child's current skills
If you’re unsure whether EIBI is the right fit for your child, our team is happy to discuss your needs and guide you in the best direction. A certified behaviour analyst will talk with you to figure out your needs and the best course of action for your situation.
What Are Common Challenges We Help Address in Our Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention Program?
The Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention program is designed to tackle a wide range of autism spectrum disorders and developmental challenges that young children may face. Our STARS Behaviour experts use evidence-based practices and ABA Therapy to improve your child's behaviour. By focusing on individualised support, we help families address issues such as:
Communication Delays: Difficulty expressing needs, understanding language, or engaging in conversation.
Social Interaction Struggles: Challenges in playing with peers, sharing, or understanding social cues.
Emotional Regulation Issues: Frequent tantrums, difficulty managing frustration, or heightened sensitivity to changes in routine.
Learning Delays: Difficulty with focus, following instructions, or acquiring new skills.
Repetitive Behaviours: Stereotyped or repetitive actions that may interfere with learning or social interaction.
Adaptive Skills Deficits: Struggles with daily tasks like dressing, eating, or following hygiene routines.
If you notice any of these behaviours in your child, it's best to talk to a behaviour consultant or ABA provider immediately. By addressing these challenges early, EIBI program helps children build the skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in social settings.
How Can Your Child Improve with Our Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention?
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention can help children with developmental disorders through Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and positive reinforcement. Through regular and focused support, children can achieve progress in:
- Communication Skills: EIBI helps autistic children improve their verbal and non-verbal communication, allowing them to articulate their needs, thoughts, and emotions better. Once they learn how to communicate well, this can improve their social interactions and help facilitate deeper connections with their peers.
- Social Interaction and Play: As mentioned, your child's progress can also be seen in the way they are able to socialise with other people. EIBI treatment includes structured play and other structured activities that can enable children to enhance their social skills and connect with peers and family members. Engaging in activities like taking turns, sharing, and recognising social cues is essential for building lasting connections with others.
- Self-Help and Adaptive Skills: EIBI can help teach skills that your child needs in growing up. They will learn daily living skills such as dressing, feeding, and sticking to routines. This fosters a child's autonomy and enables them to navigate their daily tasks more effortlessly.
- Minimising Challenging Behaviours: One of the positive effects of getting EIBI treatment performed is the difference it can make in autistic children's challenging behaviours. Through the application of positive reinforcement strategies, EIBI can help inculcate positive behaviours and allow your child to interact more suitably in different environments.
Changing behaviour isn't easy and doesn't come overnight. Through continuous support and systematic reviews concerning behaviour, EIBI can result in significant, enduring improvements in your child. STARS Behaviour Services can help eliminate certain behaviours and establish necessary behaviour change in our therapy sessions to make sure that your child can thrive in whatever environment they will be in.
Our Approach to Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention
At STARS Behaviour Services, we take a personalised, family-centred approach to EIBI. We incorporate applied behavior analysis (ABA) in our treatment because it helps many kinds of learners gain different skills. The skill-building process – teaching students communication and toleration repertoires and then engaging and persisting with personally challenging tasks (e.g., academics, social skills activities). Strategies for maximising safety and dignity throughout the process, as well as for strengthening student-educator relationships.
We know that your child thrives in their natural environment so we take the time to sit down with you and layout a plan that works for you. Here's how we do it:
Comprehensive Assessment of Challenging Behaviour
We begin with doing a systematic review and thorough assessment of your child’s strengths, challenges, and developmental needs. This helps us identify areas of focus and set clear, measurable goals.
Applied Behaviour Analysis and Individualised Programming
Based on the assessment, we design a personalised intervention plan that targets specific skill areas, such as:
- Communication and language development
- Social interaction and play skills
- Emotional regulation and coping strategies
- Daily living and self-care skills
Structured One-on-One Sessions
EIBI sessions are intensive, typically involving 20–40 hours of therapy per week, depending on your child’s needs. Sessions are conducted one-on-one with a trained behaviour therapist, ensuring focused, individualised attention.
Parent Involvement and Positive Behaviour Support
We believe parents are essential partners in their child’s development. Our team provides guidance, resources, and training to help you implement strategies at home and reinforce progress.
