First Step
Treatment as Usual
First Step is a comprehensive early intervention that is delivered by a behavioral coach who works in collaboration with the classroom teacher and parents. First Step addresses moderate to severe behavior problems of young children and includes both classroom and home components. The program takes about three months from start to finish and requires approximately 60 hours of the coach's time for implementation over this three month period.
Participants in the Treatment as Usual condition will receive behavioral and counseling services typically provided by their preschool.
