“…In contrasting drug-exposed children and nonexposed children of comparable socioeconomic status (SES), the former have shown more problems in specific neurological or cognitive domains (Mayes & Bornstein, 1997), but on psychological dimensions, group difference tend to be negligible. Summarizing the results of 46 studies on behavioral outcomes of young children prenatally exposed to drugs, Carta et al (1994) reported significant effects for only half the outcomes examined, and the majority of these were among infants less than 1 month old, and were chiefly in the neurodevelopmental domain.…”

In this study of 360 low-income mother-child dyads, our primary goal was to disentangle risks linked with commonly co-occurring maternal diagnoses: substance abuse and affective/anxiety disorders. Variable-and person-based analyses suggest that, at least through children's early adolescence, maternal drug use is no more inimical for them than is maternal depression. A second goal was to illuminate vulnerability and protective processes linked with mothers' everyday functioning, and results showed that negative parenting behaviors were linked with multiple adverse child outcomes. Conversely, the other parenting dimensions showed more domain specificity; parenting stress was linked with children's lifetime diagnoses, and limit setting and closeness with children's externalizing problems and everyday competence, respectively. Results are discussed in terms of implications for resilience theory, interventions, and social policy.

“…Challenging behaviors present the single biggest obstacle to including young children with disabilities in typical early education programs (Conroy, Dunlap, Clarke, & Alter, 2005). If challenging behaviors are not reduced and replaced with more appropriate behavior, students who display them are likely to be removed from an inclusive class and placed in a more restrictive environment (Carta et al, 1994;Palfrey, Singer, Walker, & Butler, 1987).…”

In the current investigation, the processes of functional assessment and functionbased intervention were used to resolve the severe challenging behaviors of a boy with autism and mental retardation in an inclusive kindergarten in South Korea. A multicomponent intervention was developed in collaboration with classroom personnel and was implemented entirely by the teacher and an aide in the context of a multiple-baseline-across-activities experimental design. Results were empirical validation of hypotheses derived from the functional assessment, as well as lower levels of challenging behaviors and increased rates of appropriate behaviors associated with the intervention. Positive interactions with a designated classroom peer and with the teacher also increased. The findings are discussed as contributions to the growing literature on functional assessment and function-based supports and the importance of promoting successful inclusive experiences for young children with disabilities.

“…Without effective early services for children with challenging behaviors, the prognosis is disheartening. Untreated challenging behaviors result in the need for more costly intervention and treatments, such as more restrictive placements, and an increased likelihood of requiring special education services later in life (Carta et al, 1994; Dodge, 1993; Palfrey, Singer, Walker, & Butler, 1987; Reid, 1993).…”

This article describes the efforts funded by the state of Colorado to address unacceptably high rates of expulsion from child care. Based on the results of a 2006 survey, the state of Colorado launched two complementary policy initiatives in 2009 to impact expulsion rates and to improve the use of evidence-based practices related to challenging behavior. The primary policy initiative involved the funding of a center to develop model sites, a state-level planning team, ongoing practitioner training, and certification of coaches and trainers all built around the Pyramid Model. The secondary initiative involved expanding the number of early childhood mental health consultants and modifying their reimbursement/payment formula such that direct preventative work with adult providers, consistent with the Pyramid Model, was reimbursable. A follow-up survey in 2011 showed a dramatic reduction in expulsion rates and a corollary increase in providers’ teaching of prosocial skills to children with challenging behavior.
