Canceled - Pyramid Model - Individualized Intervention

This professional development program provides content and resources to support the use of evidence-based problem solving to develop individualized social and emotional interventions for children ages 18 months to 8 years. 

Content addresses the “Intensive Intervention” tier of the Pyramid Model, and offers a concrete process to guide teams to create behavior support plans that address the function of behavior.   Additionally, content will address the critical need to support adults to attune and reflect to build and maintain relationship necessary to implement a plan effectively.  Specifically, this program will emphasize the intersection between function-based intervention and infant and early childhood mental health consultation.

Intended Audience

This program is designed for people who facilitate teams that create and sustain individualized support for young children who exhibit behavior that challenges ( e.g. home visitors, Head Start education directors/consultants, Birth to 3 teachers/therapists, early childhood special educators/therapists, school psychologists, infant mental health consultants or therapists). 

Objectives
Community partners who support adults to support young children will:

1. Increase their understanding of key teaching and guidance practices promoted by the Pyramid Model

2. Review considerations for gathering information needed to intentionally plan and create effective interventions

3. Practice creating intervention plans that include 3 essential elements:  preventions, instruction, alternative responses

4. Explore elements of supporting adults in the teaming process needed to plan, create, support implementation and monitoring interventions

5. Summarize the role of reflection inherent throughout the process of planning, creating, implementing and monitoring interventions

6. Determine necessary next steps to promote these practices within their system and community
