Tweddle NCAST Parent-Child Interactions (PCI) Teaching Scales
What is the NCAST PCI training?
The Parent-Child Interaction (PCI) Teaching Scale is a widely used validated tool for measuring parent-child interaction. The scale contains a well-developed set of observable behaviours that describe the caregiver-child communication and interaction during a teaching situation, birth to 36 months of age for the purpose of assessing a dyad’s strengths and areas that need improvement. Teaching scores from interactions with children as young as 3 months of age show a signification correlation with subsequent measures of attachment, resilience and cognitive abilities.
