Suppliers

Variations of the EIBI UCLA YAP model are widely available and incorporated within many branded programmes throughout the world including the Lovaas Model of Applied Behavior Analysis, the Ontario Preschool Autism Initiative and the UK Young Autism Project.

The Lovaas Institute website provides details of approved consultants who live in and travel to many parts of the USA to work with families and school districts.

In addition there are a number of websites in Europe, the USA and other countries that provide details of organisations and individuals that can provide UCLA YAP Model-type services.

Credentials

There are no universally accepted qualifications for providers of the EIBI UCLA YAP model, although many consultants have Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees in a related field, such as psychology or education and some may also have Master's degrees in applied behaviour analysis and be Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBA).

These consultants may provide the whole of the EIBI programme or, more likely, may design a programme and then train the parents and any other instructors whom the parents have hired. According to the Lovaas Institute website the instructors hired by the parents do not need to have special credentials or previous experience but they do have to have the right attitude.

In the UK it is essential that the person is also properly insured and has a recent DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check.
