The Introductory Workshop is designed to be relevant for individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including professionals, parents, and other interested parties. Workshop activities will include didactic instruction, videotaped exercises, and group discussion. The workshop is not designed to certify individuals as ESDM therapists, but instead to introduce attendees to the core principles and practices of ESDM. Attendees will learn about the background, principles, curriculum assessment, data systems, and intervention procedures of ESDM.
