Abstract
The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based intervention approach that incorporates knowledge from developmental science, behavior analysis, and social-affective neuroscience to support learning and development in young children with autism. This chapter describes an approach for delivering ESDM in a group day care setting—the Group-based Early Start Denver Model, or G-ESDM. The G-ESDM emphasizes the importance of providing intensive teaching grounded on evidence-based educational strategies, individualizing the program, and addressing multiple developmental domains within group-based cooperative learning experiences. The group delivery format has a number of advantages compared to the 1:1 implementation, including feasibility and sustainability in preschool settings and the potential to facilitate peer-mediated learning.
