Northeast Occupational Exchange, Inc. is a nationally recognized, licensed mental health and substance abuse agency serving adults, children, and adolescents, emphasizing evidence-based interventions.  NOE provides a range of services to help people achieve higher adjustment and live more productive lives.  (Persons with developmental needs, including mental retardation are welcome.)

In June 2002 NOE was nationally recognized and awarded the “Lela Rowland Prevention” award by the National Mental Health Association for the successful implementation of The Incredible Years Training Programs.

Developed by Dr. Carolyn Webster-Stratton of the Parenting Clinic at the University of Washington, The Incredible Years Parent, Teacher and Child training programs are research-based, proven effective programs for reducing children's aggression and behavior problems and increasing social competence at home and at school.

This program is a set of three developmentally based curriculums for parents, teachers, and children that are designed to prevent, reduce and treat behavioral and emotional problems in children. 

PARENT TRAINING PROGRAMS:    

The parent training intervention is focused on strengthening parenting competencies (monitoring, positive discipline, confidence) and fostering parents' involvement in children's school experiences in order to promote children's academic and social competencies and reduce conduct problems.

 CHILD SOCIAL SKILLS & PROBLEM SOLVING – TRAINING PROGRAMS:

The Dinosaur Child training curriculum strengthens children’s social and emotional competencies such as understanding and communicating feelings, using effective problem solving strategies, managing anger, practicing friendship and conversational skills, as well as appropriate classroom behaviors.

 TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMS:

The teacher training intervention is focused on strengthening teacher classroom management strategies, promoting children's pro-social behavior and school readiness (reading skills), and reducing classroom aggression and non-cooperation with peers and teachers. Additionally the intervention focuses on ways teachers can effectively collaborate with parents to support their school involvement and promote consistency from home to school.
