Evidence-Based Behavioral Intervention
Behavioral Intervention or evidence-based behavioral services (EBBS) refers to the use of the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to change socially significant behavior. It is an approach to teaching that has been empirically demonstrated to increase positive behavior and decrease unwanted behavior more so than any other treatment approach. It requires trained clinical staff. At SBSLG, we offer both intensive/comprehensive behavioral intervention (IBI – more than 14 hours per week) and focused behavioral intervention (FBI – less than 15 hours per week).
According to the literature, Behavior Intervention works well with all children but children starting earlier make the most significant gains. Research strongly recommends early Intensive Behavioral Intervention for children diagnosed with ASD and encourages parents to start therapy as early as possible.
1 to 1 Behavioral Intervention
Both our intensive and focused BI programs include the support of the Clinical Supervisor/BCBA and/or Psychologist who is responsible for participating in and overseeing the assessment, the development of the individual program plan for each child and the continued supervision of staff and program. The Clinical Supervisor/Psychologist observes and gives feedback and suggestions to the Behavior Therapists on an on-going basis.

ABA Transitional Classroom
The SBSLG ABA based Transitional Classroom has been running since 2006. This classroom is an integral part of our dedication to an evidence-based, solution-focused approach to transitioning children from 1-1 specialized services to traditional classrooms, specialized school based programs and their social communities.
Our classrooms is a 1/2 day program with 1-3 teacher/student ratio and a small class size capped at 6 children. The time spent at SBSLG will constitute the child’s therapeutic program while the child’s home school will function as their integration site.
