Now Enrolling

Give your child the strongest possible start.

Ascendigo’s Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based, play-based early intervention program designed to help young children with autism and developmental differences build the skills they need to learn, communicate, connect, and thrive during the most important years of brain development. 

What is ESDM?

The Early Start Denver Model combines developmental science with evidence-based behavioral strategies through joyful, relationship-focused play. Every session is individualized to meet your child’s unique strengths, interests, and goals.

Your Child Will Build Skills In:

  • Communication & language
  • Social interaction
  • Play & engagement
  • Learning readiness
  • Daily living skills
  • Emotional regulation

Family-Centered Care

Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the therapy process. Our team provides coaching and strategies you can use at home to support your child’s growth every day. 

The earlier children receive individualized support, the greater the opportunity to build communication, social, and learning skills that create a strong foundation for lifelong success.
