| Purpose: |
|
Toddlers (2- to 3-year-old children) in foster care often have difficulty regulating
behavior and biology, and are at risk for a host of mental health problems. Critical issues
for toddlers straddle the challenges of infancy and preschool years. In particular, toddlers
in foster care face significant challenges in forming new attachment relationships and
developing behavioral and biological regulatory capabilities. This project will assess the
effectiveness of an intervention that targets these issues. Attachment and Biobehavioral
Catch-up for Toddlers in Foster Care (ABC-T) was developed to help parents: provide
nurturing care so that children develop secure, trusting relationships; and set reliable
contingencies that enhance children's ability to regulate behavior and biology. This
intervention's effectiveness will be assessed in a randomized clinical trial.
