Purpose: This project will establish a Center for Evidence-Based Practice focused on the needs of young children with challenging behavior. The Center will be a national collaboration of researchers and organizations committed to the development, dissemination, and utilization of practical knowledge related to effective intervention and prevention of challenging behaviors in young children.
Methods: The Center will raise the level of awareness and implementation of positive, evidence-based practices and build an enhanced and more accessible database supporting those practices. The project will engage in a comprehensive, multidisciplinary process for identifying evidence-based practices, prepare preservice and inservice personnel preparation materials and strategies, and develop a collaborative research agenda with input from consumers and families.
Products: The project will develop partnerships with national early childhood organizations and multidisciplinary and multicultural dissemination networks to ensure a widespread campaign of awareness and systems enhancement. Materials from the project will be used to improve personnel preparation in multiple disciplines at the preservice and inservice levels.
