Tell your story here and help others understand this charity : I served ESBA as a clinical supervisor for five wonderful Early Interventionists who provided service to a significant number of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. The dedicated and hardworking staff showed their mettle daily with constant attention to improving themselves and understanding their clients. Each of them earned the highest marks in their reviews in the areas of self improvement and service delivery and the children they served improved considerably under their care. We offered individual therapy based on the Easrly Start Denver Model, an ABA and developmentally based therapy that was studied to be effective consistently, most recently by the University of Washington in 2009. Children who get this type of treatment improve in the areas of communication, relation to others, motor skills, social skills, and other areas impacted by ASD and PDD. The data systems used offer parents excellent ideas of their children's improvement, and the service provided really shows how well children can do when the right type of education is offered.
