 IBI is a service provided to children that are diagnosed with a developmental disability like Autism, who also have severe maladaptive behaviors. These behaviors would include aggression, self-injurious behaviors and tantrums. The purpose of IBI is to teach the child how to learn and reduce the occurrence and intensity of the maladaptive behaviors. Advocacy and Learning Associates provide a unique behavioral approach to accomplish this and other goals. |

 PSR services are provided to children and adults that have a mental illness diagnosis, as well as behaviors that put them at risk for more restrictive placements. This service is usually done primarily in the home. The purpose of PSR is to teach the child coping, and adaptive skills to function appropriately in the community. |

 DT is a service for those children with a developmental disability, but whose behaviors are not as severe as those in IBI. DT focuses on teaching life skills such as dressing, grooming, cooking etc. Behaviors are still monitored and reduced if maladaptive. Most children transition from IBI to DT as they progress trough the program. |
