Davis Autism Approach
The Davis Autism Approach® has been constructed to enable the autistic person to learn from experiences they haven't previously learnt from. The highly structured and carefully sequenced activities fill in the missing parts of development. At the end of the programme, which may take many months, the autistic person will be able to participate more fully in life.
The Davis Autism Approach leads the autistic person through three phases:
1. Individuation - the programme aims to mimic the normal process a person experiences to become aware of themself.
2. Identity Development - the programme aims to imitate normal development and help the autistic create a cognitive structure for learning.
3. Social Integration - the third phase of the programme addresses difficulties with forming relationships.
