This book explores a group-based adaptation of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) for preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It outlines the principles and procedures of the Group-Based Early Start Denver Model (G-ESDM), offering practical and empirical guidelines for effective, affordable program implementation in public healthcare and educational settings. Chapters present rationales and strategies for designing and evaluating interventions, building interdisciplinary teams, and organizing learning spaces to engage students. Examples highlight social interactions within groups that foster learning, enhance interpersonal skills, and mitigate problem behaviors. The book also provides strategies for adapting teaching methods when an individual child falls behind. Key topics include creating treatment objectives in the G-ESDM, establishing the G-ESDM team and learning environment, developing the classroom curriculum, and utilizing practical tools like decision-making trees, teaching templates, and fidelity systems. It emphasizes facilitating learning through peer interactions and social participation. This resource is essential for clinicians, practitioners, researchers, professors, and graduate students in child and school psychology, behavioral therapy, social work, psychiatry, pediatrics, and educational and healthcare policy.
