Early intervention plays a crucial role in supporting children with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and other behavioural challenges. By equipping parents and caregivers with effective strategies, we can enhance a child’s communication, social, and behavioural skills from an early age. At Dimensional Behaviour, we offer various evidence-based programs designed to support children and families, including Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention, Caregiver-Mediated Early Intervention, and Project ImPACT Parent Coaching.
Understanding Early Intensive Behaviour Intervention (EIBI)
EIBI is a structured, research-supported approach that focuses on teaching fundamental skills to young children with developmental disorders. This method employs behavioural techniques to reinforce positive behaviours, improve communication, and foster independence. By starting early, EIBI helps maximize a child's potential for growth and learning.
Caregiver-Mediated Early Intervention
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in their child’s development. Our Caregiver-Mediated Early Intervention programs are designed to empower families with the tools they need to support their child’s progress in everyday settings. This approach ensures that interventions are integrated into daily routines, making learning more natural and effective.
Project ImPACT Parent Coaching: A Family-Centered Approach
Project ImPACT (Improving Parents As Communication Teachers) is an evidence-based program tailored for young children with social communication delays, including ASD. Designed for children up to age six, it can also be beneficial for older children with cognitive and language delays. This parent-mediated intervention teaches caregivers practical strategies to encourage their child’s social and communication development in a naturalistic and engaging manner.
What to Expect in a Project ImPACT Observation Session
As part of our comprehensive approach, we offer a 2-hour in-person observation session. During this session, we:
- Observe natural interactions between the child and caregiver.
- Identify potential triggers and environmental factors that may impact behaviour.
- Provide real-time feedback and recommendations to enhance learning opportunities.
- Ensure a judgment-free space focused on understanding and supporting the child’s needs.
This observation is not an evaluation but rather an opportunity to gather valuable insights into routines and challenges, allowing us to tailor strategies for each family’s unique situation.
Remote Consultation for Community-Based Providers
For professionals working with children in various community settings, we provide remote consultations to train them in Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Intervention (NDBI) approaches. These techniques bridge the gap between structured therapy and natural play, enabling children to learn in familiar environments with the support of trained providers.
Accepting Intake Consultations
We welcome intake consultations for children and young adults with a variety of diagnoses, developmental disorders, or behavioural needs, including those without a formal diagnosis. Our goal is to provide personalized, research-supported strategies that help children thrive.
