Early Start Denver Model for Young Children with Autism: Promoting Language, Learning, and Engagement

The following was not written by myself; but by:
Sally J. Rogers, PhD & Geraldine Dawson, PhD
“This book marks a very significant milestone in the development of appropriate interventions for young children with autism spectrum disorders. The integration of goals and teaching strategies from developmental, behavioral, and context-oriented approaches is unique. The chapters on theory will press even experienced interventionists to think about what they are attempting and why, and the detailed descriptions of activities show exactly how theory meets practice. With multisite research underway to test the encouraging results of early studies, this manual will enable interventionists to think more broadly; choose
concrete, measurable, and useful goals for each child; and collaborate across disciplines within a comprehensive intervention framework.”
