PROGRAM MODEL: EARLY START DENVER MODEL (ESDM)

Early Start Denver Model:
ESDM intervention is provided in the home by trained therapists and parents during natural play within daily routines.  ESDM is a relationship-based intervention involving parents and families; An Early Start for your Child with Autism, is a parent's guide to using everyday activities to help kids connect, communicate, and learn. Each family participating in our program will receive a copy of this book as a guide and resource. The aim of ESDM is to increase the rates of the development in all domains as it simultaneously aims to decrease the symptoms of autism.

“In particular, this intervention focuses on boosting children’s social-emotional, cognitive, and language, as development in these domains is particularly affected by autism.  ESDM also uses a data-based approach and empirically supported teaching practices that have been found effective from research in applied behavior analysis. ESDM fuses behavioral, relationship-based, and a developmental, play-based approach into an integrated whole that is completely individualized to each child’s and family’s needs”.
