Increase social and emotional competence of the child.Prevent severe and chronic conduct problems in children at high risk of behavioral problems when they first enter school.
The Fast Track project is designed to improve child competencies, parenting effectiveness, school context, and school-home communications through developmentally appropriate services from 1st grade through 10th grade. Over time, these children tend to demonstrate negative behaviors, experience family and peer rejection, and receive less teacher support, thus increasing aggressive exchanges and academic difficulties. These children are then often negatively influenced by disruptive classrooms and punitive teacher practices. These children may be poorly prepared for the social, emotional, and cognitive demands of school. Familial conflict and instability can yield inconsistent and ineffective parenting. The intervention is guided by a developmental theory positing that the interaction of family and school influences antisocial behavioral development.
