Early Intervention Program for Children with Autism
Also Known As: IEI Program
CSAAC’s Intensive Early Intervention (IEI) program serves children – ages 17 months to 10 years old – who receive between 6 and 30 hours of weekly of one-to-one intervention in their home as part of a comprehensive and results-oriented treatment program for children. CSAAC’s professional staff implement an array of treatment methodologies suitable for young children and elementary age students including an applied behavior analysis program based on a method developed by Dr. O. Ivar Lovaas at UCLA in early intervention and discrete trial training for individuals with autism. The intervention focuses on building language, social, academic, and self-help/daily living skills for each child based on their individualized needs. Each program is overseen by a licensed psychologist and a special educator who lead a team of behavioral technicians, who are undergraduate and graduate psychology students. Children are taught language and social skills that children without autism learn naturally. Psychologists who specialize in the treatment of developmental disabilities provide the individual therapy, behavioral treatment, and social skills training for children diagnosed with Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, and PDD.NOS.
