The deescalation methods are the best and easy to teach. Some people prefer to be hands off and allowing just verbal deescalation training is huge. It had benefited our children so much.

Teaching the behavior levels and corresponding staff attitudes along with verbal de-escalation skills by far are the most beneficial aspect in training!

The trainer we had for training the trainer was excellent, and very helpful with preparing me as a trainer, as well as connecting me to the resources available as a trainer. As a trainer, working with our staff and learning through facilitating the training has been very helpful, because CPI provides a framework for processing challenging situations and problem solving future approaches.

The use of verbal de-escalation is extremely helpful to ALL staff members regardless of the types of students/disabilities they work with within the school setting.

It gives our staff a better understanding of “how-to” lessons and best practices for the best results if ever we have to go into a crisis situation. I love how we are shown declarations techniques to improve the situation.

The crisis development model is a great framework for the work we do when students present difficult behaviors. Also the Decision making matrix has really help with getting staff to think about how to intervene with students.

Everything! Helps staff to de-escalate behaviors before they become a physical behavior. Teaches staff to recognize low level behaviors and strategies to use at each level. Emphasizes use of physical restraint as a last resort!

The most beneficial piece of the CPI training was the in-person instruction while practicing how to use the interventions and disengagement techniques.

The organization of the program, the delivery, the support and follow-up are why I will recommend to any employer, moving forward, that CPI is the way to go.

The program gives staff a framework for working with students who have complex or challenging behaviors. It has been very helpful for staff who have not had to work with students who have challenging behavior.
