The ACT program was developed by the American Psychological Association (APA) and is coordinated by the Children, Youth & Families Portfolio. The program is based on research showing that:

The early years are a critical time in development when children are learning basic skills that have long-term effects on their lives.
Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as maltreatment, can have serious and long-standing impacts on brain development, emotional, cognitive, behavioral development and on health.
Parents and caregivers are teachers, protectors and advocates for their children.
