Early Intervention Program

EARLY INTERVENTION (EI) PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN WITH ASD

Our Early Intervention (EI) Program is specifically designed for young children 2-5 years old Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is a comprehensive ABA program designed to support socialization and communication skills, reduce challenging behaviors, increase independence, and prepare them for school transition and participation in a group environment.

Age Groups

Toddler: Our toddler group is for children ages 2-3 years old.
Preschool: Our preschool group is for children ages 3-5 years old.

Group Size & Support

Each group will have 4-6 children. Each child will receive one-on-one support from an ABA Therapy Assistant. A BCBA will also be present for each session to support the children and staff, and oversee program.

Class Schedule

Our morning program runs from Monday to Thursday, 9am to 12:30pm, and Friday 9am to 11:45am.

Our afternoon program runs from Monday to Friday 1:15pm to 3:15pm.

Children with feeding problems are encouraged to participate in the morning program as its class schedule will include periods for snacks and lunch to support feeding therapy.

Attendance

Attendance in this program is very important. Consistent attendance is required in order to facilitate a successful group dynamic. Absenteeism, early pick up, or late arrival will negatively affect the dynamic of the group, and produce less successful outcomes from all children in the group. In the event that a child cannot commit to the set schedule, the child may be ineligible to enroll in the EI Program.
