Using a case study approach, the implementation of Teacher-Child Interaction Therapy (TCIT) within the preschool setting was presented. TCIT was found to increase the number of positive interactions between the child and teacher. In addition, TCIT was effective in decreasing the child's disruptive behaviors, increasing compliance, and decreasing the need for the teacher to issue commands. Although the case study provided initial empirical evidence, additional research is needed to fully support the use of TCIT. Specifically, research using a multiple case study approach is recommended.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
