The CPI program is considered the global standard for crisis prevention and intervention training. With a core philosophy of providing for the Care, Welfare, Safety, and Security of everyone involved in a crisis situation, the program's proven strategies give educators the skills to safely respond to various levels of risk behavior while balancing the responsibilities of care.

The program teaches proactive and preventative strategies to support children with behavioral issues. The program contains units on how to recognize when a child is escalating, how to verbally deescalate situations and if necessary how to use a disengagement skill or hold to in order to keep everyone safe.

CPI addresses the needs of working with individual students who are prone to escalation and need an individual intervention. CPI is the only authorized method for physically intervening in a crisis situation.

In this training, we’ll explore a systematic approach containing strategies and solutions that promote a change in student behavior when teaching and supporting students who are maladaptive, chronically disruptive, as well as students who come from complex-developmental trauma.  We’ll explore the most effective teacher approach, proactive strategies that promote cooperation, as well as responsive strategies to use “in the moment” when irresponsible behavior is happening.

Apraxia Specialist

Description

A recent survey collected by Bjorem Speech
indicated that over 88% of SLP's consider
themselves novice/still learning in the area
of CAS. During this course we will outline
the characteristics of CAS and how they
differentiate from other speech disorders
and how that impacts a differential
diagnosis. We will walk through the
evaluation process, learn how to choose
targets and write goals that support a motor
planning speech disorder. We learn about
the different treatment approaches
available for CAS and review the Principles
of Motor Learning. Multi-sensory cueing
strategies will be discussed as well as how
to incorporate cueing into therapy. In
person and virtual options available.

Learning Objectives
Participants will be able to identify the
characteristics of CAS that separate the
diagnosis from other speech sound
disorders.

Participants will become familiar with
differential diagnostic criteria for CAS and
learn how to informally assess.

Participants will be able to describe how
target selection for CAS is different than
selection other speech sound disorders.
Participants will become familiar with the
different treatment approaches available
for CAS, specifically DTTC.
