Welcome to Integrated Behavioral Technologies, Inc.
Integrated Behavioral Technologies, Inc is a nonprofit, 501 (c) 3 organization, that serves children with and their families
in the Midwest region. While services are aviailble for a range of disorders, difficulties, and challenges faced by
families, IBT focuses primarily on children and families affected by an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
Autism is a developmental disorder that is typically diagnosed during the first 3 years of life, impairing individuals
of their ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is a spectrum disorder that impacts each child with
different levels of severity. Recent Estimates are that that 1 in every 150 children in America is diagnosed with
a form of autism. Autism is 4 times more prevalent in boys than in girls and can effect anyone, regardless of race,
ethnicity, or other factors.
The United States Surgeon General recommends intensive systematic interventions
services such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) as the treatment for autism. Current national focus is on addressing the
need to begin early intervention services as soon as possible after a child has been diagnosed with autism. Research
has found that early intervention must be (1) comprehensive, (2) intensive, (3) extended over time, (4) individualized, and
(5) delivered directly to children.
