Industry Reviews

Through Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Young Children, Second Edition, Dunlap and colleagues have once again given the early childhood field a much-needed, evidence-based, socially valid model for providing individualized positive behavior support to young children. Moreover, the principles that undergird the model align with recommended practices in the field. Using a step-by-step approach, readers are skillfully guided through the implementation of PTR-YC in early childhood classrooms. Materials and case examples illustrate how to use the model as intended. The second edition of this text builds on the first by incorporating feedback received from those, including me, who have used the first edition successfully in a variety of early childhood classrooms. I will recommend this updated second edition to all my early childhood students and colleagues! --Patricia Snyder, Ph.D.
