The Behavior Specialists work closely with Early Childhood Mental Health Consultants (ECMHC) from St. Vincent Family Services (SVFS) to provide social-emotional supports to our children and families. A request for intervention (RFI) is completed for children with behavioral or developmental concerns to determine the need for a behavior intervention plan (BIP) and to assist teaching staff with classroom observation and BIP implementation. All services focus on ensuring that the children in our care learn key social skills for preschool, engage in developmentally appropriate social activities, and have access to proper interventions for childhood behaviors that may interfere with learning and development.
