ESDM & ABA therapy

For Children 18 months - 5 years

Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is a play-based, relationship-centered early intervention model backed by strong research. A Master's level clinician works directly with your child in play routines that support communication, social connection, imitation, and early learning skills.


What ESDM Therapy Includes:

  • 1:1 sessions with a Master's-level BCBA
  • Natural, play-based learned tailored to your child
  • Parent coaching built into care so progress continues beyond sessions
  • Support for communication, joint attention, imitation, play, transitions, and more
  • Gentle, developmentally appropriate skill building

What Makes Our Therapy Services Different

  • Your child works directly with a BCBA, not RBTs or technicians that only have 40 hours of training and minimal supervision
  • A developmental approach instead of a compliance-focused model
  • Flexible scheduling options to fit your family, not excessive hours.
  • Sessions are tailored to your child's needs and your family's capacity -- not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Who This Model Is For:

  • Children 18 months - 5 years old
  • Families wanting a developmental, relationship-based approach instead of intensive ABA model that require maximum hours
  • Children who benefit from learning through play, interaction, and shared joy
