Our Program

The foundation of our program has its roots in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), which utilizes a developmental curriculum that defines skills to be taught through engaging, movement-based natural play activities. ESDM methods help children participate in developmentally appropriate activities and encourage children to use skills spontaneously and in different environments.

Our clinical intervention teams use a data based approach and empirically supported teaching practices that have been found effective from research in applied behavior analysis (ABA).

​Step-by-Step Curriculum

FamilyPath uses an inventory of learning objectives that are based on typical child development to create relevant, achievable goals for your child. The majority of goals are founded in the ESDM curriculum and are individually written with your child in mind to help them reach their fullest potential.
Picture

Individualized Treatment

Each goal is written in a multi-step format to develop skills using a "ladder" approach to learning. This style of learning meets your child where they are and builds upon their skillset as they grow.

Family Training & Support

In addition to providing skill development to children, the team at FamilyPath integrates parent and family training into each child's program to empower caregivers to support their child at home and in the community.


Early Start Denver Model

What is ESDM?


The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is an evidence-based intervention that fuses behavioral and developmental principles into an integrated play-based  approach to treatment. ESDM can be implemented in a variety of natural settings such as the home or the daycare/preschool by trained therapists as well as parents within play and daily routines. ESDM is based on the methods of Applied Behavior Analysis.

Applied Behavior Analysis

What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention that focuses on developing skills in a variety of areas such as social skills, cognition, language development, self-care, and more through behavior change. Applied Behavior Analysis techniques develop these skills by analyzing an individual's behavior and adjusting the environment and consequences as they relate to that behavior. ABA has a variety of subspecialties that utilize the basic principals of ABA.

Our son has learned so much from the team. He would not be as far in life if we hadn't worked with FamilyPath. They also helped me see the things he CAN do and not focus on the hardships of Autism.

He's got some skills that I don't think I had at his age. He learned great social skills like responding when people talk to him. He couldn't do a lot before and now he's just grown so much!
