Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) Benefit

Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) services offer medically necessary treatment to people under the age of 21 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or related conditions

Description

The Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) benefit provides treatment for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related conditions. Treatment is based on proven methods, and the values, culture and preferences of the person and family.

For full information, see the EIDBI Benefit Policy Manual on the Minnesota Department of Human Services website.

EIDBI services help people to:

  • Interact with others
  • Learn and play
  • Decrease interfering or unwanted behaviors
  • Build independence
  • Participate in family, school and community life

EIDBI Services may include:

  • A Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation (CMDE) to evaluate or confirm a diagnosis of ASD or related conditions
  • Individual, group and high level support need therapy
  • Education, training and support for families and caregivers
  • An individualized plan of service that outlines the goals, intensity and duration of services a person is recommended to receive
  • Care conference meetings to coordinate across service providers and with the family
  • Travel time to provide in-person EIDBI services

EIDBI services may be provided in a center, clinic, home, office or community setting, including the school. Some EIDBI services may also be provided via telehealth.

Ask your EIDBI provider about what the specific services they offer, treatment methods provided, locations served, what healthcare plans they accept and if they have a waiting list.
