Abstract

This paper describes a research and training activity conducted within the framework of the Third Mission of the Department of Humanities, Philosophy and Education at the University of Salerno. In particular, the project aims to explore the possible implementation and educational potential of the Group-based Early Start Denver Model (Vivanti et al., 2017) in preschools also attended by children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The aim of these activities is both to value knowledge outside academic institutions and to promote dialogue and active collaboration with Italian school heads and teachers.
