CABER Early Intervention Clinic
Introduction
The CABER Early Intervention Clinic (EIBI) clinic supports children age 6 and under who have a medical diagnosis of Autism. Services focus on improvements in skill acquisition, communication, daily living skills, and reduction of challenging behavior through naturalistic developmental behavior intervention (NDBI).Parent Involvement
Parent involvement is a critical part to a child’s success. Parents/caregivers will meet with the child’s board certified behavior analyst (BCBA) once a week or once every other week. During these meetings, parents can expect to discuss their child’s progress toward their goals and practice implementing strategies with their child. The BCBAs work with families to ensure the skills addressed in the clinic can be addressed at home.Intake Process
