✦ Synopsis
With state agencies and scientists recommending Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) for children with autism, the demand for quali®ed behavior consultants exceeds the supply. Consequently, children with autism are either receiving alternative, ineective, and unsubstantiated treatments or are receiving EIBI programming from unquali®ed personnel. Additionally, when school districts are approached to provide services, the resulting Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are typically not behavioral and lack the detailed and speci®c objectives required for children with autism. This article was written to provide parents and educators with an objective and quanti®able IEP, which has been used as a guideline for treatment for a 4-year-old boy with autism.
