The Children's Toddler School Program is a comprehensive treatment model run by the University of California, San Diego.
Children receive intensive services in an inclusive classroom alongside typically developing toddlers.
The classroom has a 1:3 teacher-to-child ratio, is arranged like a typical toddler classroom, and uses a systematic blend of incidental teaching, pivotal response training, structured teaching (TEACCH), the picture exchange communication system, and DIR/Floortime.
