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 by providing coordinated, interdisciplinary care through a team that includes 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 build the skills they need to thrive while strengthening families, improving school readiness, and reducing the need for more intensive services later.
