Intensive Behavior Treatment Programs
Programs to transition from Early Intervention Treatment
These programs are modeled after the groundbreaking autism treatment programs conducted by Dr. Ivar Lovaas. They are geared to help children “catch up” with their typically developing peers, and have the goal of integration with peers in general education classrooms.
