- Research study(1987) evaluated 19 young autistic children received over two years of 40-hour/week behavioral intervention

- Of the other half, most had significant improvements, but a few did not improve much.

- The key in helping improve challenging behavior, functioning
- EIBI can lead to a savings of $ 208,500 per child across 18 years of education in the US
