Our Greenhouses and Nurseries are good places to direct queries regarding educational practice. These are programs that are demonstrating success in serving children and youth with emotional and behavioral disorders. Nurseries are programs that show promise, but have not yet produced data or been visited by a CECP staff member. Our Research Fellows are recognized researchers in the field of emotional and behavioral disorders, and have specialties in a variety of areas including social skills, psychological medication, effective teaching, assessment of children with disabilities, issues of culture and language, working with youth in the juvenile justice system, and many others. Our Expert Practitioners are people who have been working in the field for many years as teachers, administrators, counselors, family advocates, community developers, or legal advocates.
