Third Annual Policy Makers' Summit: November 16, 2005

The Third Annual Policy Maker’s Summit on the topic of young children and challenging behavior was convened by the Center for Evidence-Based Practice: Young Children with Challenging Behavior on November 16, 2005, in Washington, DC. Collaborating partners included the National TA Center for Children’s Mental Health, the Council for Exceptional Children, and the Center on the Social and Emotional Foundations for Early Learning.

There were two specific objectives for the 2005 Summit:

• Build on the recommendations from the 2004 Summit and create an action agenda,
• Provide research findings on the link between behavior, school readiness and other indicators of well-being; preschool expulsion; prevention and intervention practices that work; and, policy challenges and strategies identified by local/state leaders.

Below are links to several different resources that were presented at or created as a result of the Summit.
