Gifted People Services (G.P.S) is pleased to offer flexible and affordable IBI and ABA programs to Canadians with Developmental Disabilities. We aim to address skill gaps and deficits identified during the assessment phase and reduce challenging behaviors.​

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a method of analysis and implementation steps devoted to improving behavior habits. These behavioral methods are scientifically based and build upon existing profiles while reducing problematic ones. ABA focuses on enhancing personal, interpersonal, and academic skills, as well as providing self-help tools and socialization skills. ABA treatments are less intensive and require fewer service hours.

Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI) is an effective treatment method. The intensive and comprehensive delivery of this treatment is guided by the clinical application of learning principles and teaching strategies of ABA. This intense treatment strategy should primarily start early in the child’s youth, typically before the age of 4. The primary goal is to adjust behavior trajectories to ensure the child develops functional communication, social and playtime skills, and pre-academic and self-care skills. Compared to ABA, IBI is more intense, typically involving 20-25 hours a week. IBI sessions can be conducted one-to-one or within a group setting.
