Behavioral Consultation and Training for Professionals and Parents
Professionals often seek further knowledge to increase their effectiveness in helping individuals they serve. Parents want to become more skilled at assisting their children in learning new skills and reducing challenging behavior. In response to these needs, The Institute’s Clinical Outreach Department shares its expertise with both of these audiences, in New Hampshire and throughout the country. We offer group trainings and workshops, as well as individualized consultations, that are targeted to suit trainees’ particular needs and interests.
Most consultations and training events focus on teaching Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) principles, and demonstrate the practical applications of these proven methods across a wide variety of everyday experiences. The combination of two elements – a strong value base of respect and caring, and scientific ABA methods – creates a powerful tool set that equips parents and professionals to have a positive impact on those for whom they care.
Examples of training topics include:
- Functional behavioral assessments
- Supporting students with autism
- How to establish effective routines for children (getting to sleep, mealtimes, toilet training)
- Creating individualized staffing designs that work
- How to develop enhanced family care arrangements
“Our organization provides services for individuals with traumatic brain injury and those with challenging medical needs. IPPI consults with our staff, and together we develop behavioral support programs that enable these folks to have more control over their lives, expanding where they can go and what they can do. We don’t have this specialized expertise in-house, so we contract with IPPI for it. Working with IPPI has given our staff clarity on how to provide excellent behavioral supports.

“His preparedness was phenomenal, beautiful handouts, PowerPoint, examples.The materials were fabulous and his impromptu responses to questions from the audience were great.”
“This was the best workshop that I’ve attended as a parent. I’m taking home a framework of understanding and ideas about ways to help my daughter get to sleep. What a gift this will be!"
- Workshop Participants
"We asked for IPPI's assistance helping us provide the right kind of classroom experience for a 4-year-old child with autism enrolled in our school. Their trainer was very well informed, and exceptionally well able to gear the training to our specific needs. She didn't waste time by going over what we knew. She proceeded right to helping all of our staff better understand the autism spectrum. She clarified what we should know about his needs, helped us anticipate his behavior at certain times, and taught us ways to gain his cooperation and trust. She gave us the most pertinent information for our immediate needs. During the training, she fielded many questions right in the middle of her presentation. By the end, we all felt so much better equipped to help this child. Now anyone can step in, on a moment's notice, and help the 1-1 aide. This child has made incredible progress over the past year ---communication, interactions, independence, ability to control his behavior - in part because of IPPI's invaluable training and in part because the Montessori approach to education accommodates so well the needs of the individual children to learn in their own unique ways."
