Synopsis

See how an evidence-backed approach helps preschoolers with disruptive behavior succeed at home and in the classroom.

This study examines the long-term maintenance of gains from Parent-Child Interaction Therapy when applied to school settings. Readers follow follow-up assessments at 12 and 18 months to see which improvements hold up in real-world environments.

The work analyzes behavior changes after a 14‑session treatment that blends traditional and behavioral methods, focusing on both home life and classroom conduct. It highlights how treatment effects can generalize to school without direct classroom intervention, while also noting areas where scores shift over time. The study uses multiple measures, including observational data and teacher ratings, to paint a practical picture of lasting change for children, families, and schools.

• How PMT-style therapy for young children translates to school settings
• What behaviors remain improved and where scores fluctuate over 12 and 18 months
• Differences between home observations and classroom ratings across followups
• Practical implications for teachers, parents, and school-based support

Ideal for readers of applied child psychology and clinicians seeking real-world outcomes of early intervention programs.
