EIP Intervention & Learning Support

We strive to use evidence based techniques and principles of learning to bring positive and meaningful change in behaviour.

We use Applied Behaviour Analysis or ABA in our programs that are created and implemented by a team, facilitated by a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA), who also plays the supervisory* role at EIP. Each of our team member, are trained RBTs (Registered Behaviour Technicians) and, they work together closely to ensure that each child receives the individual tailored treatment. Our main aim is for each child in our early intervention program to reach their optimal potential and acquire the skills that are necessary to benefit from mainstream education.

* If you would like to enquire about supervision, as a RBT or someone working towards their BCBA or BCABA, please contact us at eip_autism@yahoo.com

In addition to early intervention programs, we also use the ABA teaching principles for focused-based programs for school-going children with social and behavioural issues, or academic related issues such as slow in reading and writing, difficulty understanding and responding to written comprehension exercises and word problems, inconsistent performance across subjects or not responding to conventional teaching and learning methods.

In general, our programs involve:

• Determining the strengths and weaknesses of the child
• Creating goals or a treatment plan to help the child narrow the gap between them and their peers (IEP)
• Draw up and implement Behavioural Intervention Plan when necessary (BIP)
• Evaluate the suitability of the use of AAC (alternative augmentative communication device) and introduce the use of AAC when necessary
• Help a child generalize skills learnt across all settings (home and pre school settings)
• Teach parents to recognize teaching opportunities  
• Continuous monitoring of the child's response to the interventions and making necessary adjustment 
• Build on skills that are necessary for school setting preparation

The overarching goal of all forms of therapy is to highlight the strengths and to improve upon the weaknesses. Each program will be formulated after the intake evaluation and will be updated accordingly. These are a rundown of some of the main services offered:

Early Intervention Program (2 to 4 years)
Personal Learning Assistant or PLA
Learning Support Programs
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy & Social Skills Program
Parent Empowerment Program
Teacher Empowerment Program

UPDATE: TELEHEALTH
Using telehealth in ABA services is not something new, and has slowly grown in popularity over the past few years. However, with the recent COVID-19 crisis, demand for this type of service will be greater and requires the need for providers to be prepared and expand to a different model to deliver treatment.

That said, we understand that each and every one of us has been gravely effected by the current situation. In these uncertain times, we have no way of knowing how long it would take before we can recover from this and return to the way it used to be. For EIP, the process of recovery will still be about protecting the health and safety of all parties involved. Each one of us, whether professionally or personally, have to make adaptations or prepare to make changes, prioritizing what should be considered essential.

ONLINE PARENT COACHING
If you are a stay-at-home parent (or work from home), live far or have poor access to ABA services, this might be for you.

We will coach you to take the lead and manage your child's intervention through implementation of naturalistic intervention in daily routines and interactions with your child as well as handling challenging behaviour. Learn to create learning opportunities in your child’s typical day – making their every waking hour count. Most importantly, learn how to better understand and connect with your child.

Research shows that parents involvement show greater gains for the child. After all, you know your child best.
