Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) between the ages of 2 and 3 years old are in the golden phase of early intervention, this is the stage when early interventionists will specify the appropriate intervention direction and intervention services for each child with ASD. The article, which surveyed the current situation of using the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) to educate children with ASD from 2 to 3 years old in a specialized School with 87 teachers and 98 parents of children with ASD, discovered that: The majority of teachers and parents understood the significance and necessity of using the ESDM for children with ASD. Many instructors and parents, on the other hand, continue to struggle with choosing the most appropriate educational objectives, content, methods and forms. Furthermore, elements such as the educational atmosphere, facility conditions, equipment and family cooperation all have an impact on the educational process. We propose lessons learned based on the current status of using ESDM to help teachers and parents better prepare in the process of applying the model to early intervention for children with ASD.
