Early Intervention Program for Infants and Young Children (EIPIC) program is specially designed for children from 18 months to 6 years old, diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or other developmental disabilities.

Our EIPIC includes an individualized program for your child using the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM).

The program is delivered through a multi-disciplinary team of

• Board-Certified Behavior Analysts/Behavior Consultants, 
• Occupational Therapists, 
• Speech-Language Pathologists, 
• Behavior Interventionists.

The children learn in a small classroom type setting. Each classroom may have two to four children. Small classroom setting allows focus on the needs of the children and allows them to effectively socialize and learn in a preschool-style environment.

Despite the group classroom setting, each child has his/her own Individualized Behavior Plan of Intervention (BPI) to ensure that the child learns according to his/ her own learning style and learning pace. The goals are tracked regularly and adjusted according to the child’s speed of acquisition and learning style.

The curriculum is based Early Start Denver Model (ESDM).

Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) was originally developed by Rogers and colleagues and encourages development in a variety of areas known to be affected in autism.

The Denver Model focuses on creating an effectively warm and rich environment to foster positive relationships between children and adults and approaches language development from a communication science orientation, emphasizing the social function of language (pragmatics) and the development of non-verbal communication and imitation as foundations for verbal language.
