## Brief Summary

The purpose of the project is to assess the initial efficacy of Stepping Stones Triple P-Positive Parenting Program (SSTP) with parents of children below age two with developmental disabilities to strengthen families and prevent child maltreatment.

## Detailed Description

This study is an initial efficacy trial of SSTP for parents of children below age 2. The target population consists of 50 families of young children ages 11-23 months with developmental disabilities who are eligible to receive IDEA Part C (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Part C) services in one region of South Carolina. Families will be randomly assigned to one of two conditions (1) IDEA Part C services as usual or (2) IDEA Part C services plus SSTP.
