be the primary developmental dimensions to be prioritized in
a program designed to support the development of children with
ASD and their families. In the SCERTS model, it is recognized
that the most meaningful childhood learning experiences occur
in everyday activities and should therefore occur with a variety
of partners (e.g., parents, brothers and sisters and other children)
in everyday routines and social situations. For more information,
