Intensive Behavioral Intervention
In order to accomplish our mission, we have chosen to only serve a small amount of families. We often provide services for these families for years at a time. Consequently, our client turnover is very slow. Because of our slow turnover, we do not maintain a waiting list. We can occasionally serve a new child. Our ability to serve a new child depends primarily on whether we have a supervisor in the child's area. If a parent is interested in obtaining our services, an interest form should be completed and returned to Behavioral Dimensions. We will call if an opening occurs, and a supervisor becomes available in your area.

Intensive Behavioral Intervention
Our agency provides an intensive behavioral intervention program that is designed to remediate the language, social, and behavioral difficulties displayed by children with autism. (Note: This intervention is often described as ABA or discrete trial training.)
Behavioral Dimensions’ Intensive Behavioral Intervention curriculum is designed to teach young children with autism to understand and use language and social skills. Because of this we have chosen to only serve a small age group of children. Currently, we are serving children ages 5-years-old and younger. If you feel you are in a crisis situation please call our office at 952-814-0207. If you have an older child in need of services, one of our other programs may be more appropriate for you. The information is available here Behavioral Consulting, Family-Centered Behavioral Intervention.
Research has shown that chidren with autism who receive intensive intervention services 25-40 hours a week may make significant progress. With this level of intensive behavioral intervention, some children may progress to the point that they no longer qualify for the diagnosis of autism. Our services have enabled many children to enter regular elementary school with no additional supports. Behavioral Dimensions is committed to producing this level of outcome with all our children. Consequently, we require our children to receive a minimum of 30 hours per week of direct service during optimal learning times. Service hours are provided by a team of Behavioral Dimensions' staff. Clinical monitoring and supervision are regularly provided to ensure that the child consistently receives a quality program and all services are provided in the child's home with a caregiver present. Behavioral Dimensions provides visits from a licensed psychologist and up to 10 hours per week from on-site supervisors.
