Prevent, Teach, Reinforce for Young Children (PTR-YC) is a structured, evidence-based model designed to address challenging behaviors in young children through positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS). Grounded in the principles of applied behavior analysis, PTR follows a five-step process that can be adapted for students of all developmental levels This training pathway equips teams with the skills to assess, plan, and implement individualized interventions with fidelity for students requiring Tier 3 support. Special emphasis is placed on adapting strategies to meet the unique needs of young children, ensuring developmentally appropriate interventions. The four-day training will allow for complete experience by reviewing case studies and applying the material to ensure that fidelity can be achieved. This approach emphasizes three key components: • Prevent: Identifying triggers and modifying environments to reduce the likelihood of problem behaviors. • Teach: Introducing and reinforcing appropriate social, emotional, and behavioral skills. • Reinforce: Using positive reinforcement to encourage desired behaviors and ensure long-term success. PTR-YC is particularly effective in early childhood settings, including preschools and childcare programs, helping educators, caregivers, and interventionists support young children’s development while promoting a positive and inclusive learning environment. Note: The following Readiness Criteria must be met to participate in this pathway: • Completion of Tier 1 and Tier 2 training • A team that includes, at minimum: an administrator, a staff member with behavioral expertise, and a teacher • A commitment meeting with the site coach, administrator, and DMSELPA Prevention & Intervention Specialist • Participation in four facilitated coaching sessions
