  1. Evaluating the Effects of the Incredible Years Therapeutic Dinosaur Programme on Child Behaviour During a Dyadic Play Session (alongside the Lottery funded evaluation of the programme in 22 schools in North and Mid Wales).Laura Parry, Judy Hutchings & Tracey Bywater. Main Project Aims PhD Project: To explore the effects of the Incredible Years Therapeutic Small-Group Dina Programme on child behaviour during a paired play session. Therapeutic Dina Big Lottery Project: To evaluate whether small group coaching in the Therapeutic Dinosaur curriculum to groups of 6 high-risk 4-8 year old children attending schools where the classroom version of the same curriculum is also being delivered, provides added benefits to these children. The Rationale PhD Project: A valid and reliable observational tool will be developed to assess the impact of the Incredible Years Small-Group Dina Programme on child behaviour during a paired play session. It is hypothesised that children will display increased positive, friendly behaviour (examples include, compliance and working together to complete a task) and decreased negative, aggressive traits (examples include, use of threatening and derogatory language) following intervention. Therapeutic Dina Big Lottery Project: The main project will identify and support young school children with social, emotional and behavioural deficits that limit their ability to thrive in school by giving them the additional support to enhance their school readiness. • Dina School • Detecting Feelings • Understanding Feelings • Listening Skills • Concentration Skills • Controlling Anger • Helping • Sharing • Teamwork at School • Tell, Listen, Ask • Problem Solving Skills Method and Design Observation data on the children will be collected using a video camera and children will be filmed completing a free-play task for 10 minutes and an additional structured-play task, designed to elicit an element of frustration, for 10 minutes. Development of valid and reliable observational tool will take place during Feb-July, 2012 and data be will be coded and analysed following phase 2, follow-up 1 data collection. Inter-rater reliability will be calculated on each item of the tool. The programme will be run in 22 schools, 9 in phase 1 (Jan-Jun, 2011), and 13 in phase 2 (Jan-Jun, 2012), with a total sample size of 225 children. Measures of child behaviour, parenting and parental mental health will be collected at three data collection points: at baseline (before the intervention), at follow-up 1 (following intervention) and at follow-up 2 (8 months following completion of intervention, phase 2 only.
