Modèle “Early Start Denver” ESDM
The objective of ESDM is to enhance the developmental progress of children with ASD across all domains while reducing the impact of autism symptoms that impede learning from day-to-day experiences and interactions. This module provides tools to improve social-emotional, cognitive, and language skills, which are commonly affected in children with ASD. This course is designed for caregivers, educators, and social workers to introduce them to ESDM, a developmental, behavioral, and relationship-based intervention program for infants and toddlers with ASD. Participants will acquire hands-on knowledge and techniques to create personalized teaching objectives for children aged one to two years with varying skill levels, enabling them to help children with ASD improve their development and education and a 5 to 6 steps certification.
The ESDM module offers a complete understanding of the model through:
- an Introductory Workshop;
- a seven-day Advanced Workshop + Deepening of knowledge;
- a five to six steps Certification.
