Effectiveness and Feasibility of the Early Start Denver Model Implemented in a Group-Based Community Childcare Setting

Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales: II Profile of Young Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

“…Given that the majority of children in the current sample did not obtain subscale raw scores that were high enough for calculation of meaningful T scores, developmental quotients (DQ) were calculated by dividing each child's age equivalent score by their chronological age at the time of testing, and multiplying by 100, as is common practice (see Eapen et al 2013;Munson et al 2008;Vivanti et al 2014). A nonverbal composite was calculated by averaging scores on the Fine Motor and Visual Reception scales.…”

Oxytocin Treatment, Circuitry, and Autism: A Critical Review of the Literature Placing Oxytocin Into the Autism Context

“…It is believed that ESDM is developmentally sensitive (38), providing better outcomes for children under six who may learn more fundament skills to permit more complex social skills later in life. It has an explicit target of increasing the child's sensitivity to social reward and interest and affective engagement with others (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41). This work demonstrates that young children with autism show considerable potential for learning and 'plasticity' to change and improve developmental trajectories, although patient variables may moderate response.…”

Le modèle de Denver (Early Start Denver Model). Une approche d’intervention précoce pour les troubles du spectre autistique

“…Différentes études ont été conduites pour évaluer l'ESDM [6,[13][14][15][16]. L'ESDM a été validé par une étude randomisée contrôlée conduite par les équipes de Geraldine Dawson et Sally Rogers [6].…”
