About Us

The Incredible Years programs were developed by Carolyn Webster-Stratton, M.S.N., M.P.H., Ph.D., Professor and Director of the Parenting Clinic at the University of Washington.

She is a nurse and licensed clinical psychologist and has published numerous scientific articles evaluating training  programs for helping families and teachers with children who are highly aggressive, disobedient, hyperactive and inattentive. She has had extensive clinical experiences helping over 1,000 families whose children were diagnosed with conduct problems and attention deficit disorder.

In addition, she has offered her training program to teachers and parents as school and community-based interventions designed to  prevent young children's behavior problems from continuing into adolescence.  These curricula have been adopted by many children's mental health centers, Head Start centers, child protective agencies and schools throughout the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom.

Professor Webster-Stratton is the recipient of the prestigious National Institute of Mental Health Research Scientist Award.
