1:1 ABA Therapy (EIBI)

One-to-one ABA therapy provides the individualized support children need to build foundational skills for school, group learning, and daily community life. Conducted in a highly structured setting with a trained therapist, this personalized approach is ideal for learners who need to build essential prerequisite skills—such as communication, social interaction, and self-care—through repetition and reinforcement.

Customized Goal Plans: Our clinical team continuously assesses your child's skills and behaviors to tailor a plan to their unique needs.
Expert Care: Every program is delivered by a skilled Instructor Therapist and directly supervised by a Registered Behavior Analyst.
Our Goal: To help children with ASD and development need achieve their full potential, foster lasting independence, and improve their overall quality of life.

What is Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI)?

EIBI is a specialized method based on Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) principles, designed specifically for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). By providing intensive intervention over a higher number of weekly hours, it focuses on teaching essential skills while reducing challenging behaviours that may interfere with learning and social development.

EIBI is typically delivered at an intensive level of 20–40 hours per week by a collaborative team that may include Instructor Therapists, Senior Therapists, and Registered Behaviour Analysts (RBAs/BCBAs). Programs are individualized based on comprehensive assessments to ensure they align with each child’s strengths and needs.

The Difference: General 1:1 ABA vs. 1:1 EIBI ABA

General 1:1 ABA is flexible and suitable for all ages. It focuses on specific goals like building skills or reducing challenging behaviors, usually for a few hours per week.

EIBI is an intensive, structured ABA program for young children. It supports overall development across multiple areas and typically requires 20–40 hours per week for best results.

Why Intensive Intervention Works

Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) is specifically tailored to provide maximum support during a child's most critical developmental years. Children who benefit the most from this approach.

This level of intensity provides frequent, structured learning opportunities that support faster skill development in communication, social, and daily living skills. It also helps reduce challenging behaviours, promote functional alternatives, and encourage skill generalization across home, school, and community settings for more meaningful, long-term progress.
