Used worldwide, this trusted resource is now in a thoroughly revised second edition, reflecting key advances in early intervention research and practice. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is the first comprehensive, naturalistic, developmental-behavioral, empirically tested intervention specifically designed for infants displaying early signs of autism and young autistic children. Leading experts Sally J. Rogers and Geraldine Dawson guide practitioners to assess and support all aspects of children's development--including social communication, language, cognition, imitation, and play--using enjoyable, interactive routines in everyday settings. The manual is grounded in state-of-the art findings from the developmental, clinical, and learning sciences. The companion website provides details about the ESDM Fidelity Rating System and a summary of key intervention strategies.
