Specialty Topic Training Packages
Deepen your CPI training with focused learning that reflects the realities of the individuals you serve.
Specialty Topic Training builds on foundational CPI programs—including Verbal Intervention™, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention®, NCI™ With Intermediate Physical Skills, and NCI™ With Advanced Physical Skills—to equip teams with targeted strategies for specific needs like ADHD, autism, trauma, and mental health.
Person-Centered Perspectives: ADHD
Understand how ADHD impacts attention, impulse control, and emotional regulation in real time. This training package helps staff recognize how everyday responses can either escalate or stabilize situations while providing practical strategies for more effective, person-centered interactions.
Person-Centered Perspectives: Autism
Learn how to better support individuals on the autism spectrum by understanding how they experience communication, sensory input, and change. This training package helps staff better interpret behavior through a neurodiversity-informed lens.
Specialty Topic: Trauma
Give your staff the skills to understand the impact trauma has on behavior and how a trauma-informed approach can help them better meet the needs of those in their care. Grounded in trauma-informed principles, this training equips teams to identify trauma responses, avoid re-traumatization, and create safer, more supportive interactions.
Specialty Topic: Mental Health
Respond to crisis behavior with a clearer understanding of mental health conditions and their real-world impact. This program connects foundational CPI strategies to common mental health challenges, equipping staff with an overview of mental illness, its prevalence in the world, and resources to be person-centered in their practice.
