Innovative  

Following internationally recognized best practice, the Early Intervention Program (EIP) at CDC aims to improve the quality of life of children with mild to moderate autism and related developmental delays from 1.5 years to 6 years of age. Under the umbrella approach of ABA, the EIP incorporates a variety of interventions from across the multi-disciplinary teams including Speech and Language and Occupational Therapy, ensuring the student has a comprehensive and balanced therapy program that meets their individual needs.

 

We play with purpose in the Early Intervention!
