Early Start Denver Model Research Paper

When a child does become eligible through the diagnosis of Autism, the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), a structured teaching and relationship-based approach in the child's home that uses play as a learning tool is shown to be the best method. Research found that children age 18 to 30 months participating in ESDM improved their social interaction and language abilities. LEAP (Learning Experiences and Alternative Program for Preschoolers and Their Parents) is another successful intervention for young children. This mixes children with Autism with typically developing preschool children in the classroom. This allows the opportunity to learn appropriate language, interactions and behavior from other children.
