A Three-Tier Model of Parent Education in Early Childhood: Applying a Problem-Solving Model
McIntyre, Laura Lee; Phaneuf, Leah K.
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v27 n4 p214-222 2008
Young children with developmental disabilities may be at heightened risk for experiencing problem behavior. Evidence suggests that inappropriate behavior in young children may be related to negative parent-child interactions. Parent education and support programs have a long history of utility and effectiveness in reducing negative parent-child interactions and behavior problems. Although these programs may be effective in preventing and resolving childhood behavioral problems, not every family benefits uniformly. This article discusses how a three-tier model of intervention can be applied to parent education for young children with developmental disabilities in the context of early childhood education programs. Furthermore, the authors discuss how a problem-solving model can be used to make decisions regarding intervention provision. (Contains 1 figure.)
