Parents Matter Parents play a vital role in the education of their children. As partners in the process, parents can provide perspectives and information that will broaden educators’ understanding of the student. Parent participation will enhance program planning and assist in the determination of educational goals, methods, and motivational strategies that are most appropriate and effective for a student. Students with ASD generally have difficulty transferring or generalizing skills from one situation or environment to another. The learning process for a student with ASD is supported when the same skills and concepts are reinforced in both the home and school environments. |

As a parent, here you will find information and resources on the Connections for Students process and how this model can support your child with ASD. At home, at school, and in the community…parents matter! |

Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI)

Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI)
Intensive Behavioural Intervention is an intensive and comprehensive form of intervention that was designed for young children with autism spectrum disorders. It is based on the principles and techniques of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). This intervention may be thought of as an intensive form of teaching children that typically involves between 20 to 40 hours of intervention per week, and that addresses skills deficits, (across a curriculum of developmental skills) together with approaches to improve behaviour. IBI makes use of a wide variety of specific techniques including a one-to-one discrete trial approach with opportunities for very frequent learning trials, as well as more naturalistic approaches which may take place in home-based programs, specialized small group settings, or integrated settings. As the case with any form of ABA, antecedents and reinforcers are analyzed, the program is carefully monitored, progress is assessed, empirically, and the program modified if necessary. |
