The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is a behavioural therapy for children with autism between the ages of 12-48 months. 

Parents and therapists use play to build positive and fun relationships. Through play and joint activities, the child is encouraged to boost language, social and cognitive skills.
  • Based on understanding of normal toddler learning and development
  • Focused on building positive relationships
  • Teaching occurs during natural play and everyday activities
  • Uses play to encourage interaction and communication

ESDM therapy can be used in many settings, including at home, at a centre, or in school. Therapy is provided in both group settings and one-on-one.
