Individualized education plan in early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI): Perception of practices and challenges
The application of Early Intensive Behavior Intervention (EIBI) requires elaborating objectives and strategies for each child. This individualization process is essential for a quality intervention. By law, institutions are accountable for the planning of interventions for each person to whom they provide services through the intervention plan. This study aims to identify the practices and challenges associated with developing these plans, within EIBI, as perceived by members of the intervention team (21 caseworkers, 6 supervisors, and 4 professionals). Analysis of semi-structured interviews helps identify perceived challenges, including those associated with intervention characteristics, parental involvement, interdisciplinary work, individualization, access to evidence-based data to support intervention planning and the standards of the institution.
