Clinic Based Programs

Essential Behavior Group (EBG) provides specialized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for children from birth through age 10. Our clinical programs are designed to meet the unique needs of each learner through evidence-based, data-driven interventions conducted in a clinic setting. Family guidance is an important component that is required in all clinical programs.

Essential Foundations

This program is for learners aged 2-5 who are recently diagnosed and require intensive early intervention. The clinical focuses include increasing functional communication, flexibility, and basic social skills. There is an additional focus on reducing moderate to severe maladaptive behaviors. Treatment intensity ranges from 25-30 hours a week. Clinicians target clinical goals using a naturalistic approach; skill-based treatment components will be used as clinically indicated.

Essential Prep

This program is for learners aged 4-6 who are preparing to transition into a less restrictive setting. This program is often used as a titration bridge for those learners transitioning away from intensive therapy. Clinical focuses include establishing complex communication, tolerating large and small group social learning groups, and generalizing replacement behaviors. Treatment intensity typically ranges from 15-25 hours a week.
