Early Start Denver Model and Parent Coaching

Developed by the MIND Institute in California, the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based, behavioural early intervention program specifically developed for very young children with developmental delay aged between 12 months and 4 years. ESDM is a play-based intervention integrating behavioural and developmental principles. ESDM can be implemented across a variety of natural settings such as the home or the daycare/kindergarten as well as parents within play and daily routines. 

A book written for parents: An Early Start for your Child with Autism, is a guide to using everyday activities to help kids connect, communicate, and learn.
