Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI)
Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) – is a therapeutic program for children aged 18 months to 5 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or developmental disabilities. It focuses on promoting learning, skill development, and positive behavior changes through individualized, evidence-based interventions based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The goal is to enhance communication, social interactions, and adaptive behaviors, ultimately improving children’s independence and quality of life.
