Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, early intervention services are offered to children and their families
from birth to three years of age. Likewise early childhood special education services are offered from three to five years of age.
Research demonstrates that among the intervention frameworks available, applied behavior analysis has the largest evidence base,
solidifying its status as the best practice for early intervention and early childhood service. This paper endeavors to provide
comparative information to evaluate the effectiveness and validity of other intervention practices based on developmental and
relationship-based theory such as the Montessori Method and DIR®/Floortime™. In addition, the use of music therapy within early
intervention and these specific intervention frameworks will also be discussed. / A Thesis submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the Master of Music. / Spring Semester 2016. / April 18, 2016. / Applied Behavior Analysis, DIR/Floortime, Early Intervention, Music Therapy, The Montessori Method / Includes bibliographical references. / Jayne Standley, Professor Directing Thesis; Dianne Gregory, Committee Member; Lori Gooding,
