The Early-early Intervention program is intense, highly structured, and very accelerated.  The EEIAP is meant to be an “intervention” and an “assessment”.  We provide intervention, turning the student around (restoration), and at the same time we make a thorough assessment of the nature of his/her problem.  We work very closely with the parents in fostering a dynamic change in the family, not just the child.  Once we know what is going on, we can effectively coach the child and the parents into full restoration.

Additionally, with many “early-intervention” students no one is quite sure what is going on inside the mind and heart of the child.  With the emotionally immature child the “real” problem can go undetected.  The parents know something is wrong, and things in the home are not good. But why?  This child is tearing apart the family with their aggressive rebellion, but no one is really sure why.  We get to the bottom of the problem fast.  The earlier a parent intervenes into the rebellion the better prospect of full restoration.  Sometimes, parents wait way too long, and it take years for the child to overcome the problems he/she has caused.

The EEIAP candidate, in the early stages of rebellion, can be turned around in a shorter period of time.  Therefore, the EEIAP program is 3 to 6 months long.  We believe that an emotionally mature child can make decisions in their best interest.  Therefore, our goal is to focus a great deal of our attention on developing the student’s “emotional intelligence” (emotional maturity).  Our EEIAP does not waste any time. They are engaged all day, every day.  The student entering the program realizes that the length of time they are at ALA totally depends on their ability to “grow up”, take responsibility, and be accountable.  “Growing up” means that the ALA EEIAP student-graduate returns home as a “caring” and “giving” person.  They are much more thankful for what they have, and grateful for all that their parents have provided.  This emotionally mature student knows that submission to authority is powerful, and why.  The emotionally intelligent child readily submits to his/her parental authority, makes good decisions, and is therefore granted liberty, especially when “trust” abounds.

Typical Student Candidate for the EEIAP

The Early-early Intervention Assessment Program is not open to all prospective students and their families.  Student candidates for the EEIAP must be assessed and accepted by the ALA Admissions Team into the EEIAP accelerated program.  The typical EEIP student candidate is a selfish and self-centered child, making poor choices (poor selection of friends and boy/girl friends), but has not yet experimented with drugs/alcohol**, does not sneak out, is not sexually active**, and is not in total defiance.  This student still may be doing well academically.  The typical EEIAP student candidate is primarily on a downward spiral, becoming more and more disrespectful and demanding, and is rebelling openly toward parental authority.  This student may also be questioning their faith, and is basically really confused, angry, and “entitled”.  This student needs a wake up call, intense coaching, and learn to deal with “structure” (authority, rules, policies, procedures, etc.).

** In some rare occasions we may take a child into the EEIAP who has experimented with drugs and alcohol, or has just become sexually active.  There can be extenuating circumstances that will be factored on a case-by-case basis.
