METHODOLOGY
IBS staff utilize Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, as our primary treatment methodology. ABA is the science of analyzing and improving socially significant human behavior. The overwhelming majority of research conducted on the treatment of Autistic Spectrum Disorders (i.e., Autism, Aspergers Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and related disorders) has been from an ABA perspective. The treatment methodologies used by IBS staff are the most up-to-date, research-based technologies in the field of ABA. These technologies are utilized to address a number of issues relevant to children with ASD, including language acquisition, building peer interactions and social skills, responding to group instruction, academic skills, following typical classroom routines, learning self-help skills, learning in and from the natural environment, and reducing inappropriate behavior(s).
