Welcome to the Institute for Applied Behavior Analysis (IAA)
We offer evidence-based services to children, adolescents, and adults with autism, intellectual disabilities, and complex developmental needs. We also work with typically developed children, adolescents and adults with anxiety, OCD and other psychiatric disorders.
Based in Stavanger, Norway, we work with families, schools, and public services nationwide.
Who we are
IAA is a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, behavior analysts, and educators. We specialize in early intervention, habilitation, and behavioral treatment grounded in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Our work is practical, personalized, and scientifically informed.
What do we offer
Our Approach
At IAA, we use the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to understand and improve behavior in a meaningful way.
Our work is:
- Individualized – We tailor strategies to the needs and context of each person.
- Practical – We work in real-world settings: homes, schools, kindergartens.
- Collaborative – We involve families, educators, and other professionals.
- Measured – We collect data and adjust plans to ensure long-term success.
ABA is not a single method or program. It’s a scientific approach from which we can help people gain new skills, increase independence, and reduce barriers to quality of life.
Who do we provide services to
We support individuals of all ages — from toddlers to adults — who need tailored support.
Our services are designed for:
- Children and youth with autism spectrum disorders
- Individuals with intellectual disabilities
- Families managing challenging behavior
- Schools and kindergartens in need of functional behavioral support
- People experiencing anxiety, OCD, or eating difficulties
- Municipalities seeking consultation and service development
Funding
We operate as a private organization, with funding sourced through community services, insurance companies, or private means.
Norwegian procurement law (§ 30-4) allows municipalities to use IAA’s individualized, evidence-based services even if we are not part of a framework agreement.
This is especially relevant for users with complex needs where standard services do not meet legal or clinical requirements.
Expat-workers can access IAA’s services through certain insurance companies!
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) services, commonly used for individuals with developmental conditions like autism, could potentially be covered under these health insurance policies, especially if deemed medically necessary. Coverage often depends on the specific policy terms.
Expat workers should consult directly with their insurance providers to confirm if ABA services are included as a treatment or follow-up care within their policy. Additionally, liaising with healthcare professionals in Norway can help determine the eligibility of such services under private insurance plans.
For seamless support, expats are encouraged to explore how integrated services through organisations like IAA can facilitate access to necessary treatments.
