Expanding the Reach of Evidence-Based Interventions for Improving Social-Emotional Outcomes for Infants in Child Care

This project focuses on improving teacher responsiveness to infants so as to improve social-emotional outcomes for the infants.

Details

Scientists are adapting an empirically-based program for parents of infants for use with teachers of infants with and at-risk for disabilities. The program will focus on improving responsive teacher interaction with infants to promote social-emotional outcomes for infants with a diverse set of learning needs. The project will compare effectiveness for infants at-risk for/with disabilities to that of typically developing infants.
