In this lesson

Chapter 9 of "An Early Start for Your Child with Autism" focuses on understanding how children learn, specifically within the context of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM). This chapter delves into the cognitive processes and learning mechanisms that are crucial for young children with autism. It emphasises the importance of using evidence-based, play-based strategies to enhance learning and development. The ESDM approach combines developmental and behavioural techniques, integrating them into everyday activities to promote social communication, play skills, and language development.
