Details:

The DECA-C is a standardized, norm-referenced behavior rating scale that evaluates behaviors related to social and emotional resilience and concerns in preschool children ages 2 through 5.  It is designed to support early intervention efforts to reduce or eliminate significant emotional and behavioral concerns in preschool children.  The DECA-C can be used to (1) guide interventions, (2) identify children needing special services, (3) assess outcomes, and (4) help programs meet IDEA, Head Start, and similar requirements.  This tool is being used in Michigan's Mental Health System.  

This webinar is designed to help participants:

• Describe how the DECA-C is used in the context of providing mental health prevention and intervention services to young children.
• Describe the development and psychometrics of the DECA-C
• Effectively administer and interpret the DECA-C, including analysis and advanced interpretation
• Use the DECA-C as a tool to guide professionals and families in developing strength-based and intentional plans to reduce challenging behavior in young children.
