About IBT

Integrated Behavioral Technologies, Inc is a nonprofit, 501 (c) 3 organization, that serves children with Autism and their families in the Midwest region. While services are available 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), including such diagnoses as Autism and Aspergers.

Autism is a developmental disorder that is typically diagnosed during the first 3 years of life, impairing an individual's 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 1 in every 110 children in America is diagnosed with a form of Autism. Autism is 4 times more prevalent in boys than in girls and can affect 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. Research has found that early intervention must be (1) comprehensive, (2) intensive, (3) extended over time, (4) individualized and (5) delivered directly to children.

IBT is dedicated to providing low-cost but effective services to children and their families.

IBT uses ABA techniques to improve communication, direction following, eye contact, daily living skills, motor skills, academic skills, and many more. We also use ABA to decrease problem behaviors such as noncompliance, tantrums, running away, self-injury, self-stimming, and aggression. IBT uses positive reinforcement to increase the likelihood of the child continuing to use that skill in the future.

IBT’s goal is to provide needed services to children with special needs and their families. We partner with many state and federal programs to make services available to families. We provide in-home services to teach children in the natural environment and make services accessible to all families with children with autism.
