🌈 ABA vs. IBI — What’s the Difference? 🌈
If you’ve ever felt confused about the difference between ABA (Applied Behaviour Analysis) and IBI (Intensive Behavioural Intervention) — you’re not alone! While these two therapies share the same foundation, there are some key distinctions to know 👇
✨ ABA Therapy (Applied Behaviour Analysis)
ABA is a broad approach based on understanding and improving behaviours that are meaningful to the individual.
It can be used across all ages and in a variety of settings — home, school, or community.
ABA focuses on teaching new skills, reinforcing positive behaviours, and reducing behaviours that may interfere with learning or daily life.
💪 IBI Therapy (Intensive Behavioural Intervention)
IBI is a specialized, high-intensity form of ABA, typically designed for young children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
It involves structured, one-on-one therapy — often 20–40 hours per week — targeting key developmental areas like communication, social interaction, and self-help skills.
IBI is usually delivered by trained professionals under the supervision of a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) or psychologist.
💡 In short:
➡️ ABA = The science and method.
➡️ IBI = A focused, intensive application of ABA for children with ASD.
Both can make a life-changing difference — it’s all about finding the right fit for the individual’s needs and goals 💙
