About Early Childhood Better Together:
Early Childhood Better Together (ECBT) is an innovative, diagnosis agnostic behavioral health program supporting children ages 3 to 5 with emerging behavioral, emotional, developmental, communication, or sensory needs.
ECBT helps bridge the gap between Early Intervention and school based services through coordinated, interdisciplinary care. Our team 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, strengthens families, improves school readiness, and works to reduce the need for more intensive services later.
