This book examines a group-based adaptation of the Early Start
Denver Model (ESDM) designed for use with preschoolers with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). It describes the principles and procedures
of the Group-Based Early Start Denver Model (G-ESDM) and provides
practical and empirical guidelines for implementing effective,
affordable programs across public healthcare and educational
settings. Chapters offer rationales and strategies for designing
and evaluating interventions, building interdisciplinary teams, and
organizing learning spaces to engage student interest. Examples
discuss the social interactions in groups that provide
opportunities for learning, improving interpersonal skills, and
reducing problem behaviors. In addition, the book offers ideas for
retooling teaching strategies when an individual child lags behind
the rest of the group. Featured topics include: Creating treatment
objectives in the G-ESDM. Setting up the G-ESDM team and learning
environment. Development of the G-ESDM classroom curriculum.
Practical tools such as decision-making trees, teaching templates,
and fidelity systems. Facilitating learning through peer
interactions and social participation. Implementing the Group-Based
Early Start Denver Model for Preschoolers with Autism is a
must-have resource for clinicians and practitioners as well as
researchers, professors, and graduate students in the fields of
child and school psychology, behavioral therapy, and social work
along with psychiatry, pediatrics, and educational and healthcare
policy.

From leading authorities, this state-of-the-art manual presents the
Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), the first comprehensive,
empirically tested intervention specifically designed for toddlers
and preschoolers with autism. Supported by the principles of
developmental psychology and applied behavior analysis, ESDM's
intensive teaching interventions are delivered within play-based,
relationship-focused routines. The manual provides structured,
hands-on strategies for working with very young children in
individual and group settings to promote development in such key
domains as imitation; communication; social, cognitive, and motor
skills; adaptive behavior; and play. Implementing individualized
treatment plans for each child requires the use of an assessment
tool, the Early Start Denver Model Curriculum Checklist. A
nonreproducible checklist is included in the manual for reference,
along with instructions for use; 8 " x 11" checklists are sold
separately in sets of 15 two-color booklets.
The newest edition of the most comprehensive handbook on autism and
related disorders Since the original edition was first published
more than a quarter of a century ago, The Handbook of Autism and
Pervasive Developmental Disorders, Volume 1: Diagnosis,
Development, and Brain Mechanisms, has been the most influential
reference work in the field of autism and related conditions. The
new, updated Fourth Edition takes into account the changes in the
disorders' definitions in the DSM-V and ICD-10 that may have
profound implications for diagnosis and, by extension, access to
services. Along with providing practical clinical advice--including
the role of psychopharmacology in treatment the handbook codifies
the ever-expanding current body of research throughout both volumes
, offering a wealth of information on the epidemiology of autism
and the genetic, environmental, biochemical, social, and
neuropathological aspects of the disorder. Volume 1 includes:
Information on outcomes in adults with autism spectrum disorders *
A range of issues and interventions important from infancy, though
adolescence and beyond for individuals with autism spectrum
disorders * Current information about play development, including
skills, object play, and interventions * Coverage of the state of
genetic, biochemical, and neuropathological autism research *
Chapters on psychopharmacology and medical care in autism and
related conditions The new edition includes the relevant updates to
help readers stay abreast of the state of this rapidly evolving
field and gives them a guide to separate the wheat from the chaff
as information about autism proliferates.
