Advancing Child Competencies by Extending Supported Services (ACCESS) for Families Program

Summary

The Advancing Child Competencies by Extending Supported Services (ACCESS) for Families Program is a study funded by the National Institutes of Health to explore behavior and developmental problems among young children aging out of Early Steps (Part C). All families will participate in five evaluations in their home to learn more about their child's behavior and development. Families also may receive treatment designed to help change their child's behaviors that will be conducted over the Internet using a tablet.
