Early Intervention programs consist of 15-30 hrs/wk of Direct Instructional Service (DIS). Each program may have up to 2 implementors to provide the intervention hours, a program manager 2-3 times per week to provide daily plans for implementation, and a director to develop and design each child's curriculum. Each member of the team is trained and employed by BIA.
As a small organization, the number of intensive intervention programs we can offer is limited. Fully staffed home-based intervention programs are limited to the San Francisco Bay Area and Fresno. For families residing outside of this area, please contact BIA.

BIA provides workshops and training seminars on multiple subjects. Each has been developed from our highly successful in-house workshops. We have presented both single topic subjects and workshop series to multiple school districts and professional organizations interested in learning more about techniques for helping children with ASD. Workshops can be tailored for individual families or groups of families.
In 2002 BIA conducted a survey to look at educational placements for children who had received BIA services from 1997 to 2001. All children in the survey were between the ages of 2.5 and 4.5 at intake and had a diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorder from independent diagnostician. Twenty of the twenty-four families who we contacted and had received services during this time period responded to the survey. Below is a breakdown of the placement for these children at the time of the study:
