Intensive Behavioral Intervention
Intensive Behavioral Intervention (IBI) is a structured, personalized approach used primarily for children with autism spectrum disorder. It involves frequent, one-on-one sessions where therapists use specific techniques to teach skills such as communication, social interaction, and daily living. The goal is to help children develop better functioning and independence by reinforcing positive behaviors and reducing challenges. IBI is typically intensive, meaning it requires many hours of therapy per week, and is tailored to each child's unique needs. The approach is evidence-based and can significantly improve outcomes when implemented early and consistently.
