Casey A Holtz, "Screening of behavior problems in young children from low-income families: The development of a new assessment tool" (January 1, 2009). Dissertations (1962 - 2010) Access via Proquest Digital Dissertations. Paper AAI3375129.
Holtz mentions the start of behavioral problems in preschool years and how they lead to greater issues as they mature and grow. The author really presses the importance of catching the problem early so that it can be diagnosed and treated. The topic Holtz talks about is that of creating a "new parent-report screening tool"(Holtz). called the Early Childhood Behavior Screen. It is hoped that this test will help catch the problems at their prime and help fix them before they get too far out of hand. The author, Casey Holtz has this information classified under her dissertation paper at Marquette University. The screening tool will be used in places such as doctors offices, and educational settings in low-income neighborhoods to "aid in the identification of young children with challenging behaviors"(Holtz).
