Treatment Foster Care Oregon for Preschoolers (TFCO-P)
A foster care treatment model specifically tailored to the needs of 3 to 6-year-old foster children. The program is designed to promote secure attachments in foster care and facilitate successful permanent placements. It is delivered through a treatment team approach in which treatment foster parents receive training and ongoing consultation and support. Children receive individual skills training and participate in a therapeutic playgroup, and family of origin (or other permanent placement caregivers) receive family therapy. The program emphasizes the use of concrete encouragement for prosocial behavior; consistent, non-abusive limit-setting to address disruptive behavior; and close supervision of the child. In addition, the intervention employs a developmental framework in which the challenges of foster preschoolers are viewed from the perspective of delayed maturation.
