PCIT Team

See LSU PCIT in News

Dr. Mikolajewski and her practicum team have brought a new service to the PSC. Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based treatment that aims to strengthen the caregiver-child relationship and teach caregivers how to use effective commands and behavior management techniques. PCIT differs from other evidence-based treatments for child behavior problems through its use of live coaching by therapists as caregivers interact with their children. Since its start last fall, the team has helped aggressive, defiant, and disruptive young children learn to regulate their emotions and improve family and peer relationships. The team is currently accepting clients (parents and their children, ages 2.5-6) from the greater Baton Rouge area and beyond.

 

Spotlight: Project IMpact

          Mom and child              What is Project ImPACT?
Project ImPACT is a parent-coaching program that helps caregivers support their child’s social communication skills during everyday activities like play and routines. Parents learn strategies to help their child communicate, engage, and connect more with others in natural, meaningful ways. Children appropriate for Project ImPACT typically present with early developmental differences that place them at risk for autism spectrum disorder, most notably delays in social communication and interaction. Families attend weekly 90-minute sessions for 12 weeks, where they will learn to recognize and follow their child’s interests, create opportunities for communication, and respond in ways that promote social reciprocity and language development.
