The Early Childhood Clinical Research Center
About Us
The Early Childhood Clinical Research Center (ECCRC) provides clinical services to young children (infants, toddlers, and preschoolers) with behavioral, emotional and/or developmental difficulties, as well as their families.
Services are provided through:
- Direct therapeutic intervention with children and families
- Standardized child developmental evaluations and family assessments
- Community-based consultations with Head Start, Early Head Start, and other local early childhood agencies regarding classroom functioning, child and family development, staff training, program planning and program evaluation
The ECCRC provides community-based professional training on issues such as child and family assessment, normative and atypical child development, parent-child and family relationships, behavior management strategies and family risks.
Finally, the ECCRC is trained to implement the Incredible Years Series, an empirically validated preventive intervention model designed to address multiple contextual risk factors that are known to compromise a young child’s ability to succeed in school.
The Incredible Years Series works by:
- Promoting effective parenting practices, parent-school connections and healthy family functioning
- Enhancing social-emotional competence and behavioral regulation in preschoolers in home and school settings
