Our Approach

What is Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention?

At Minnesota Center we provide EIDBI services. The purpose of EIDBI is to:

Increase independence and improve long-term outcomes.
Provide supportive therapeutic services in a variety of settings such as home, center, school and community. Support parents and families of people with ASD and related conditions through education, family training and counseling.

What is "Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy?"

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is the only evidence-based form of therapy known to improve skill acquisition and behavior for those with ASD and/or related conditions. ABA uses reinforcement as the basis of learning.

Through individualized programming, therapists will break down the skills needed for the child to reach their long-term goals. The goal of ABA is to increase skills in communication and socialization, while decreasing restrictive, repetitive and unwanted behaviors.
