Social-emotional development resources

Every day you work hard to increase young children’s positive outcomes, knowing that social skills and emotional development play an important role in their ability to learn and grow. As you guide young learners’ development, you understand the importance of identification of at-risk children and early intervention, enabling those children to acquire the social and emotional skills they need to be successful in life.

Pearson appreciates all the work you do to evaluate and document the growth of the children you work with. We offer a comprehensive set of screeners, assessments, and interventions to help you monitor the progress of emerging social and behavioral skills that are essential for success.
