Our EIDBI Approach
Our multidisciplinary team — including experts in mental health, special education, language development, and behavioral skills — conducts a comprehensive assessment to understand where your child can be best supported. Based on the assessment, we create a tailored plan to help your child achieve specific, targeted goals within a realistic timeline.
Comprehensive Evaluation (CMDE)
Every child begins with a Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation conducted by our expert team. This assessment identifies your child’s strengths, challenges, and developmental needs to establish eligibility and guide treatment planning.
Individualized Treatment Plan
Based on the CMDE, we design a personalized treatment plan targeting communication, social skills, behavior, and daily living — with goals that are regularly reviewed and adjusted as your child progresses.
Qualified, Licensed Providers
All EIDBI services are delivered by qualified professionals, including licensed BCBAs, mental health practitioners, and trained behavioral staff — meeting all Minnesota DHS requirements and the behavior analyst licensure standards.
The Earlier, The Better
Research shows that early, intensive intervention during a child’s formative years has the greatest impact on long-term development. Minnesota’s EIDBI benefit covers medically necessary services for children under 21 enrolled in Medical Assistance, MinnesotaCare, ensuring your child gets the support they need when it matters most. Our team handles authorization and eligibility so you can focus on your family.

See What Our Families Are Saying
When our son was diagnosed with autism, we didn’t know where to start. Creative Thinkers walked us through the entire EIDBI process — from evaluation to treatment. In less than a year, he’s made progress we never imagined. They truly treated us like family.
