#091: Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions with Dr. Ariana Boutain

Dr. Ariana Boutain is the Vice President of Clinical Services at KGH Autism Services. At their facility, they are passionate about child-initiated and play-based therapy with NDBI.Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention is an empirically supported approach to treating young children with autism that involves learning through play. NDBI represents a merge of ABA and developmental science.The general framework for NDBI that Dr. Ariana and her colleagues use is the principles of ABA as well as developmentally based assessments and intervention strategies for guiding goal development and individualization. Teaching strategies with NDBI involve child-initiated, child-led play. This involves environmental setup, communication temptation, and shared control with turn-taking. Interdisciplinary collaboration is a hot topic in the field of autism but it is a high priority at KGH. As they add SLPs, OTs, and other providers to their team they match therapy approaches, encourage play-based therapy for all disciplines and provide thorough training on NDBI.You can find out more about the work and treatment model at KGH on their website!#autism #speectherapyWhat’s Inside:What is NDBI?Applied Behavior Analysis and Developmental Based Intervention.Why are child-centered therapy and play-based learning important?A framework for interdisciplinary collaboration.Mentioned In This Episode: Our Services | KGH Autism Services: ASD Treatment Clinic, Chicago & MadisonAdvanced Language Learner - Sign Up Today - ABA SpeechRegister for the Pyramid Educational Consultant’s Third Annual FUNctional Communication Conference on October 17th & 18thABA Speech: Home
