The Pyramid Model supports social-emotional competence in infants and young children through Universal Promotion, Secondary Prevention and Tertiary Intervention, built on an Effective Workforce foundation.
The four tiers
Effective Workforce
FOUNDATION
States, communities and programs build systems based on evidence-based practice and implementation science. Training, coaching and leadership create the conditions for sustainable change.
Universal Promotion
FOR EVERY CHILD
Nurturing and responsive relationships, inclusive early care and education environments and supportive home environments form the foundation for every child.
Secondary Prevention
TARGETED SUPPORT
Targeted social-emotional supports help children who need more intentional teaching and practice.
Tertiary Intervention
INDIVIDUALISED
Individualised, intensive interventions support the small number of children with persistent challenges, in partnership with families and teams.
