Denver Model of Early Intervention for Children with Autism

The earlier help begins for a child with developmental differences, the more significant results can be achieved later on. For parents who are concerned about their child's signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the book «Denver Model of Early Intervention for Children with Autism» will be an invaluable assistant. In this book, the authors, recognized world experts, present a unique, scientifically grounded, and years-tested methodology for early assistance to children with autism, specifically adapted for parents. This methodology includes strategies that not only do not change the family's usual routine but, on the contrary, originate from everyday activities such as playing with objects, eating, hygiene procedures, and interacting with others. Thanks to these strategies, parents will be able to transform everyday tasks, procedures, and routine moments into effective techniques for play interaction, communication, and learning, which will help children with varying degrees of impairments gradually progress from simpler activities to more complex ones. The application of strategies takes place in a natural environment for the child, thus ensuring behavior correction and the acquisition of new skills in the most gentle mode for them. The use of this methodology yields excellent results not only in working with children with ASD but also with typically developing children who have behavioral issues. The book does not require mandatory involvement of specialists and is accessible for independent use by parents.
