This webinar provides an introduction to Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Young Children (PTR-YC). PTR-YC is an evidence-based model that classroom teams can use to resolve patterns of serious challenging behavior. PTR-YC is a user-friendly model of positive behavior support that is intended to help young children whose challenging behaviors are compromising their social, emotional and intellectual development. The webinar offers a description of the background and procedures of PTR-YC along with a case study to illustrate the PTR-YC process.
In this webinar, assessment and intervention experts, Erin Barton, PhD and Elizabeth Steed, PhD, describe the purpose of social-emotional screening of young children in the context of promoting social-emotional development and identifying children at risk for social-emotional difficulties. This webinar provides an overview of specific social-emotional screening tools and how one might pick a tool for their program’s use. The presenters use a case study to illustrate how to implement one of the most widely used tools, ASQ:SE-2, and make decisions about next steps for children at risk for social emotional challenges.
This document was designed for programs to use with families when the use of PTR-YC is being considered for a particular child. It outlines the PTR-YC process in family-friendly language and provides information regarding where the PTR-YC process fits within the Pyramid Model. It also discusses why a family’s child might benefit from individualized social emotional supports and how the family plays an important role as a member of the PTR-YC team.
Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) is an evidence-based approach that pairs mental health professionals with people who work with young children and their families. Professionals who provide IECMHC can be critical partners in the implementation of the Pyramid Model within early childhood education and care programs including assisting programs with concerns such as trauma, crisis in communities, staff wellness, and connections with community services. The webinar panel will discuss the relationship between the mental health consultant and the Pyramid Model leadership team and the supports that might be provided by the mental health consultant to build the capacity of the program and personnel as they provide services to young children and their families.
The Backpack Connection Series was created by TACSEI to provide a way for teachers and parents/caregivers to work together to help young children develop social emotional skills and reduce challenging behavior. Teachers may choose to send a handout home in each child’s backpack when a new strategy or skill is introduced to the class.
