So,
What exactly is ESDM?
01
What's ESDM?
Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) therapy is an evidence-based approach that integrates therapy into a child's daily routines.
It promotes developmental growth in a joyful, play-based setting for children above 12 months old, with Autism, at risk of Autism, or other developmental challenges.
ESDM therapy focuses on building positive relationships, improving critical skills, and stimulating learning.
At KindMinds, our commitment to excellence extends to personalized treatment plans, tailored specifically to individual needs, ensuring swift and effective intervention. At our Private Centre, there are no delays in service initiation, allowing us to promptly address challenges and provide the optimal environment for growth and progress.
02
ESDM vs ABA
You may wonder why we claim to be the first of our kind among many other early intervention centres in Singapore. While Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is an existing traditional therapy, our clinic adopts the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) therapy.
ESDM therapy is a Naturalistic Developmental Behavioural Intervention (NDBI). It involves shared control between child and therapist, utilize natural contingencies, and use a variety of behavioural strategies to teach developmentally appropriate skills. This approach makes ESDM a comprehensive, child-friendly alternative that many parents prefer!
03
Which is better for my child?
Selecting the appropriate intervention for a child's developmental progress is contingent upon considering their unique requirements and developmental characteristics. The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) are prominent approaches. ESDM takes a comprehensive, child-centric approach, targeting receptive and expressive communication, social interaction, cognition, motor skills, imitation, independence, and joint attention in a natural, playful context. Both methods have shown effectiveness. Notably, ABA is adult-led, whereas ESDM adopts a child-led approach, tailored to each child's strengths and preferences. We recommend contacting us, so we can discuss your child's needs and determine which approach may be the best fit.
