“How can I say ’thank you’ enough! Eva and her team were always professional and guiding us weekly. We all learned to work together, overcome obstacles….all to benefit [our daughter]… I would highly recommend the EIBI program for any family raising an autistic/special needs child. I’ll miss you all and thank you for helping me to grow also!”

An individualized behaviour plan of intervention, covering all child development domains, will be developed by a Behaviour Consultant.

Services include consultation and training from a Behaviour Consultant, Speech-Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist. Teams include trained and supervised Behaviour Interventionists (BIs). Families hire their BIs to implement the intervention program.

The Reach ABA Program is a highly structured intervention program that uses teaching methods such as:
