Early Intervention (EI) Program
Building Strong Foundations Early
The Early Intervention (EI) Program at Augusta Levy provides individualized support for young learners through evidence-based ABA practices. Each child receives a personalized treatment plan built from comprehensive assessments, family collaboration, and ongoing progress monitoring. EI services focus on communication, play, behavior, and early independence—skills that support long-term growth across home, clinic, and community environments.
Personalized Plans for Every Child
Every six months, Case Supervisors complete updated assessments to identify strengths, needs, and areas of growth. Families participate in this process through questionnaires, interviews, and goal discussions.
These assessments guide:
- Individualized Treatment Plan (ITP)
- Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)
- Daily session structure and goals
Parents or guardians review all plans, sign off before implementation, and may schedule additional meetings throughout the year to support consistency and progress.
Structured Sessions Designed for Growth
Clinic-based EI services focus on communication, social play, behavior support, early learning routines, and foundational independence skills. Case Supervisors design each child’s program using evidence-based ABA methods including:
• Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)
• Discrete Trial Training (DTT)
• Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
• Verbal Behavior
• Functional Communication Training (FCT)

Real-World Practice in Everyday Settings
Community-Based Instruction helps children practice skills in real environments such as parks, stores, restaurants, and recreational locations. These outings support communication, social interaction, safety, and independence in natural contexts.
CBI Goals
CBI objectives are set collaboratively by the Case Supervisor, family, and child (when appropriate). Group outings and individualized trips are scheduled throughout the year to support generalization of skills and confidence in new environments.
Strong Progress Through Consistent Collaboration
Families play a critical role in progress. Parents and guardians participate in assessment updates, receive home goals, and communicate regularly with Case Supervisors. Collaboration ensures consistency across environments and strengthens long-term outcomes.
