Denver Official Introductory Workshop SOLD OUT

The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based intervention developed specifically for very young children with autism. ESDM is a play-based intervention that fuses behavioral and developmental principles for an integrated approach. ESDM can be implemented in different natural settings, such as home or nursery / preschool, by trained therapists, as well as by parents within play and daily routines. ESDM aims to reduce autism symptoms and target all areas of development.

The ESDM Introductory Workshop, required for those attending the Advanced Workshop, has become an independent online study to provide greater access to those seeking an overview of the model and to provide greater flexibility and less travel time for those attending the Advanced Workshop .

Administer and complete a developmental assessment of children's ability levels.
