What Does a Behavioral Specialist Do?  You may be aware of the role of our Parent Specialist at CCRC. Parent Specialists assist families in their search for quality child care across our nine-county region. You may also be aware of the role of our Provider Specialist. They work with child care providers to improve the quality of their classroom environments. In this issue we are highlighting the work of our Behavioral Specialist, Renae Lingafelt-Beeker. The director of a child care center reached out to Renae about a four-year old boy who was on the verge of expulsion from the center because of behavioral issues. The child had speech delays and was not advanced enough to adequately express his feelings. After a few weeks of continued assistance, the child utilized better ways of expressing himself and less challenging behaviors were reported. Read more here .
