About Early Childhood Better Together:

Early Childhood Better Together (ECBT) is an innovative, diagnosis agnostic behavioral health program designed to support children ages 3 to 5 with emerging behavioral, emotional, developmental, communication, or sensory needs.

ECBT bridges the critical gap between Early Intervention and school based services through coordinated, interdisciplinary care provided by a Mental Health Clinician, Behavioral Therapist/BCBA, Occupational Therapist, and Family Partner.

Through early identification, caregiver coaching, and home and community based services, ECBT helps children develop the skills they need to thrive while strengthening families, improving school readiness, and reducing the need for more intensive services later.
