The Institute of Child Development recently received a grant of $215,000 from The Meadows Foundation to develop an outreach program.

The Institute will use the funding to create and disseminate training tools, including manuals and videos, to professionals and parents of children with emotional and developmental problems.

The Institute uses research-based methods and multidisciplinary intervention methods to educate and train professionals, parents, students and other caregivers to aid children who are at-risk for behavioral and relational disturbances due to early risk factors. The grant will make it possible to disseminate the knowledge to a larger audience.
