What is Early Intervention Program (EIP)
The early intervention program (EIP) is often a go-to treatment recommended by doctors and professionals for children with developmental delays and disorders including speech delays, autism, ADHD, GDD and general social and behavioral challenges. Early intervention programs must begin early, before the age of 5, and intensive hours to ensure gaps in developmental delays are bridged as quickly as possible.
How We Conduct Our EIP Program
In ABC, most children begin in 1:1 sessions in the early intervention program, and when skills are mastered in a 1:1 setting, children then move into a small group setting (2-3 children) and eventually to school. For best outcomes, early intervention programs should begin as early as possible, between the age of 2-3 years old.
Applying the principles of ABA (applied behavior analysis) in the early intervention program, ABC focuses on teaching/building:
- Communication
- Speech and language
- Eye contact
- Behavior management
- Play skills
- Social skills
- Independence and self-help skills
- Academics including reading, writing and mathematics
- School readiness skills
