Intensive Parent Education

The Intensive Parent Education (IPE) provides caregivers instruction on a series of topics that include but are not limited to “What is Autism,” Introduction to Applied Behavior Analysis, determining the function of behavior, increasing communication skills, and many more. IPE is a telehealth service that occurs 7-hours per week for 9-10 weeks.  The service includes a Unit Review 2 hours per week, two 2-hour observations throughout the week to allow caregivers an opportunity to practice the skills taught and recommendations provided with their member while receiving in-vivo feedback from a provider, and phone call check-ins are scheduled twice throughout the week between observations to allow families to troubleshoot with the provider through anything that has come up from the last contact, or to simply check-in.
