Abstract
When looking to implement an early childhood integrated behavioral health program, it is critical to consider issues related to workforce development. In this chapter, we outline the suggested areas of knowledge and particular skill sets necessary for early childhood integrated behavior health specialists to be effective in this role. We also raise questions primary care pediatric practices need to address when determining who best to fill this position, particular to their type and scope of service. Practical examples are used to illustrate important topics, and strategies for incorporating ongoing interdisciplinary training are discussed.
