Texas Care Program
Skillstreaming in Early Childhood & Elementary
One Skillstreaming program for Pre-K through 5th grade. Children start with Skillstreaming in Early Childhood and continue with Skillstreaming the Elementary School Child, building the social behaviors they need to get along with adults and peers: listening, sharing, asking for help, and handling frustration.
Ideal for: Pre-K – 5th grade
Focus: Foundational social & interpersonal skills

Where It Fits
The first two stages of our continuum
This program covers the first two stages of our Skillstreaming path: Early Childhood (Skillstreaming in Early Childhood) and Elementary (Skillstreaming the Elementary School Child). From there, students move into Skillstreaming the Adolescent. Barkley's Defiant Child & Teen, Seeking Safety, and START can be added at any stage, as needed.
