[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Early Start Denver Model.  It is worth reading about and getting the parent book - game changer for us.  This will also teach you some skills as a parent:

ESDM is very, very, very similar to Floortime, just in case you need an alternative.  Duke U has a parent class on ESDM.  There are books.  Apparently there are now other places that train on ESDM.  https://www.esdm.co/introductory-workshops

Floortime has books and there is a center in Bethesda.

ESDM is supposedly a type of "naturalistic" ABA - behavioral approach.  By contrast, Floortime is supposedly a developmental approach.  Over time, these two philosophies - behavioral and developmental - have begun to similarly although they started off very different.  Each has incorporated the better elements of the other.  We started with Floortime, using the center in Bethesda and reading the Engaging Autism book, but then I bought the ESDM book and was floored to see that I was already doing about 75% of it through Floortime.
