If You Have Concerns About Your Child's Behavior, This Program Can Help

Bradley Hospital is offering the Incredible Years, a research-based program that has proved effective in helping parents reduce children’s aggression and behavior problems and increase social competence at home and school.

Facilitated by Stephanie Shepard Umaschi, PhD, the program can help families whose children have oppositional defiant disorder, attention/impulsivity problems, aggressive behaviors, mood/anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and difficulty adjusting to adoption.
