Behavioral Dimensions, Inc. provides services that use applied behavior analysis (ABA) for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities.

Intensive Behavioral Intervention

The IBI program is a comprehensive treatment for children with autism using applied behavior analysis (ABA). This autism treatment is evidence-based and recommended by the Association for Science in Autism and the Surgeon General. It is an intensive approach that has been empirically demonstrated to remediate the core symptoms of autism to a greater extent than any other treatment. Intensity is a critical factor in reaching the greatest outcome and typically 35-40 hours per week is prescribed. This intensive autism service takes place entirely in the child’s home. A team of staff will be assigned to each child to provide direct one-to-one instruction focused on language, social, and behavioral development. Applied behavior analysis techniques are specifically taught to all of our staff so their interactions with the child increases language and social skills while decreasing difficult or problematic behavior. Our staff are trained to manage non-compliance, aggressive, destructive, self-injurious, and stereotypic behavior often exhibited by children with autism. Additional clinical resources are provided by experienced supervisors, Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Licensed Psychologists to immediately address and remediate behavioral concerns. The success of the IBI autism treatment relies on the skillful use of positive reinforcement procedures. Staff will use things to eat, things to drink, things to watch, and things to play with, in combination with social interactions to motivate the child to produce independent language skills. The family will work with the supervisor to identify reinforcers specifically for the program. Skills that the child had not learned in other environments will carefully be taught and reinforced before moving on to more advanced skills. Our emphasis on fun and success is obvious when watching our staff work with a child. We strive for “no tears” in our sessions and feel that working with a happy, successful, and motivated child produces learning outcomes often never seen before. Disclaimer: While Behavioral Dimensions (BDI) is excited about the possibilities that our page will offer parents and their community, we want BDI clients and staff to be aware that if they “Like” and interact with the BDI page and its postings, other Facebook users may be able to see their full name and activity. In this case, BDI would not be able to protect that client’s identity. It is certainly okay for clients to choose to “like” BDI, but we want clients to be aware that they are then releasing their identity, not BDI. With that said, we hope BDI clients and staff fully enjoy our page, and don’t forget to “Like Us”!

The team at Behavioral Dimensions would like to congratulate President Jay O'Neill on receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award at the annual MNABA conference. It's safe to say that Jay's dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment to ABA and providing quality services to our clients and their families has left an incredible impact (and continues doing so!). The award is well-deserved and a reflection of the difference he's made in so many lives. When reflecting upon the award Jay said " It was a special day and I was honored to be considered for the award. I honestly think that I would not have qualified for this award if it weren't for all the amazing people who I've been incredibly lucky to work with over the decades. I'm grateful for all of you everyday and proud of what we've all been able to accomplish and will continue to accomplish in the future."

We can all use some direction every once in a while, and children are no different! When your kid does something unsafe or unwanted, do you find yourself telling them "no" only to be met with a chorus of "Why!?" Instead of telling your child what NOT to do, give them options of safe an appropriate alternatives that they CAN do.
