Abstract
In this chapter we examine the treatment strategies used in the G-ESDM to facilitate learning. These encompass evidence-based techniques based on applied behavioral analysis and developmentally-based strategies to support the child’s ability and motivation to learn during group routines and play activities. The G-ESDM fidelity tool can be used to facilitate acquisition of the instructional techniques, by providing initial guidance on the skills to learn and ongoing monitoring to determine the level of mastery of the program.

This is an area where the ESDM differs from some other behavioral programs, which are often based on a ‘most to least’ prompt hierarchy.
