ABA/IBI

At Hope Autism it is our task to assist individuals in the development of comprehensive support system to achieve lasting growth. All our treatment plans are based in evidence based practices and are implemented by well educated and certified staff.

ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis)

  • ABA is a science in which tactics derived from principle of behaviour are applied to improve socially significant behaviour and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behaviour. A successful ABA program incorporates Discrete Trial Teaching strategies, Visual Systems, Functional Communication Training, Natural Language Paradigm and Generalization techniques.
  • ABA programs begin with functional assessment to assess the child's skills and deficits. Then the individualized programs are created based on the child’s needs.
  • Hope Autism will conduct the initial assessment, create the programs, design and provide program materials and ongoing supervision.
  • In this program children will learn, social interaction, communication, play skills, life skills, daily routines and group instruction.

 

IBI (Intensive Behaviour Intervention)

  • There is evidence to suggest that IBI can be successful in assisting children with autism to acquire necessary skills and be more independent.
  • IBI is based on the fundamental principles of ABA and delivered by well trained therapists within an intensive setting.  The intensive setting is achieved through well structured programming, well trained staff, data collection, minimum of 20 hours per week of therapy, one on one or small group instruction.
  • The programs are individualized as per client’s needs and are intensive, well planned and clinically supervised.
  • Data is collected and monitored on regular basis.
  • In this program children will develop and learn imitation skills, language skills, academics and social skills in more structured and intensive manner.

ABA /IBI is provided in Home, school, community and other naturalistic environment as per the client’s needs.  The sessions are available during weekdays, evenings (after school) and weekends.
