At VICA<\/strong>, we believe that when children feel safe, connected, and genuinely interested, learning happens naturally and sustainably<\/strong>. That is why VICA has chosen the ESDM (Early Start Denver Model)<\/strong> as the foundation for our intervention programs.<\/p>\n

\n

ESDM \u2013 A Scientific Approach Used in More Than 30 Countries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

ESDM is an evidence-based early intervention model<\/strong> currently applied in more than 30 countries worldwide. This approach focuses on a child\u2019s holistic development<\/strong> through play, interaction, and meaningful relationships\u2014particularly suitable for children on the autism spectrum.<\/p>\n

\n

Building a Strong Connection with the Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The first goal of ESDM at VICA is to build trust and connection<\/strong> between the child and the therapist. When children feel safe, respected, and motivated to play, learning new skills becomes much more natural and effective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Learning Through Play \u2013 Starting from the Child\u2019s Interests<\/strong><\/h3>\n

At VICA, therapists do not force children to play according to fixed patterns. Instead, activities are designed based on each child\u2019s developmental level and personal interests<\/strong>. Through play, children not only learn skills but also learn how to connect with others<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Balancing Structure and Natural Interaction in Each Session<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Intervention sessions at VICA are designed with a balance between:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Floor play and table-based activities<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Preferred activities and activities that help improve challenging skills<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This balance allows children to feel engaged and joyful<\/strong> while gradually developing areas where they need support, in an environment that is supportive rather than pressured or forced<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Personalized Learning Programs for Each Child<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Every child at VICA has an individualized learning plan<\/strong>, developed based on a comprehensive ESDM curriculum checklist<\/strong>. Parents are also able to choose class schedules that best fit their family\u2019s routine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Clear and Continuous Progress Monitoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • \n

      Each session includes specific daily goals<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Every week, VICA records progress videos<\/strong> to review and discuss during professional meetings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      This process ensures that intervention plans are continuously adjusted to match each child\u2019s real developmental progress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Parents Are an Essential Part of the Journey<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      At VICA, parents participate in their child\u2019s class for about 30 minutes each week<\/strong>. During this time, parents can:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Observe therapists interacting and playing with their child<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Learn how to play and communicate with their child using similar strategies at home<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Discuss progress, positive moments, and the skills the child is developing with the therapist<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This partnership ensures that intervention does not only happen at the center, but continues naturally within the child\u2019s daily family life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n

        Every Moment Is a Learning Opportunity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        According to the principles of ESDM, learning does not only take place in therapy sessions but also in everyday interactions and daily routines<\/strong>. When parents and therapists share the same approach, the child\u2019s developmental journey becomes more consistent, natural, and effective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n

        If you are looking for an evidence-based, compassionate intervention approach that respects your child\u2019s individual pace<\/strong>, VICA is always ready to listen and accompany your family on this journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
