  • Policy Brief: Promoting Social, Emotional and Behavioral Outcomes of Young Children Served Under IDEAPolicy Brief: Promoting Social, Emotional and Behavioral Outcomes of Young Children Served Under IDEA
    A growing body of evidence confirms that serious and persistent challenging behaviors in early childhood directly relate to later problems in school success, social relationships, educational and vocational success, and social adjustment. This brief addresses several important questions policy makers may have about challenging behavior and how these issues relate to young children served under IDEA.

Policy Summit Presentations

As part of its work, TACSEI's predecessor, the Center for Evidence-Based Practice: Young Children with Challenging Behavior, convened an annual Policy Makers’ Summit in Washington, D.C each November from 2003 to 2006. The annual Summit brought together individuals who were able to influence federal and state policy, created a forum for discussion and collaborative action planning, and allowed participants to review research findings and collaboratively identify issues and initiatives to improve social and behavioral outcomes for young children.

Below are select presentations that were given at these valuable events:
