Children and or young adults to age 21 diagnosed with autism or a related condition are eligible for EIDBI.
How does it help?
- Promote children’s and young adults’ development, independence and participation in family, school and community life when development is impacted by symptoms of ASD or related conditions;
- Educate, train and support their parents and families; and
- Improve long-term outcomes and the quality of life for people and their families.
EIDBI core services include:
- Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation to determine whether or not a child or young adult is eligible for EIDBI services, and if so, to make recommendations for treatment.
- Intensive Intervention to teach skills and help individuals regulate behavior and reach development milestones.
- Family and Caregiver Counseling and Training to help parents and caregivers understand the individual’s condition, about the treatment plan and how caregivers can help the person generalize skills learned in treatment, and about other resources available to support the person and their family, and how to access them.
