MFEAT ~ Manitoba Families for Effective Autism Treatment ~At this               time Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the treatment proven to be                most effective with individuals with autism.  While Applied                          Behavior Analysis is a major discipline within psychology, we are               specifically referring to ABA treatment for young children with         

      autism based on decades of research by psychologists like Dr. O.                Ivar  Lovaas.

St. Amant ABA-Applied Behavioural Analysis Preschool Program ~

           Our program is funded by the Province of Manitoba to provide  

           intensive behavioural intervention for children diagnosed with an

           autism spectrum disorder. Preschool children receive home-based

           early intensive behavioural intervention for up to three years, while

           school aged children can receive intervention for up to three years or

           Grade 4 (whichever comes first). The Behavior Analyst Autism

           Consultation Service (BAACS) provides additional support to children

           who have completed the 3-year school-age program. The funding for

           this service is a new effort and is determined year by year at this

           time.
