Getting on Track in Time (Got It!) is an early intervention model for children (K-Year 2) with disruptive behaviour problems. The TAG research project will examine the feasibility of providing components of Got It! via telehealth.

New knowledge from this project will assist in better understanding if the telehealth approach to Got It! is efficient, effective, acceptable and can deliver equivalent outcomes to the in-person model. This project will also provide new knowledge on if this model can be scaled to other settings and programs in the future.

The project has potential benefits on practices including children with behaviour problems and their families benefiting from early intervention mental health services where they otherwise may not have received it. It will also help to strengthen partnerships and capacity for translational research and experience in telehealth in local health districts.
