STIM Training

Learn strategies, then implement them through guided practice and real-world application.

Each day of training builds on the previous one to ensure deep understanding and confident implementation. Full participation ensures you're equipped to apply strategies with fidelity across environments.

Focus: Physical, Visual, & Academic Structure (Including Task Completion)
Establish a predictable and supportive learning environment by designing physical layouts, visual supports, and academic routines that promote engagement, independence, and successful task and work completion. Participants will learn how to structure tasks so students know what to do, how much to do, and when they are finished—reducing frustration and increasing follow-through.

Focus: Function, Triggers, and Meaning
Explore what behavior is communicating by identifying patterns, triggers, and underlying needs. Participants will learn to look beyond the behavior itself to understand why it is happening, allowing for more thoughtful and effective support.

Focus: Responses That Regulate and Repair
Learn practical, in-the-moment strategies for responding to behavior using calm, consistent approaches that reduce escalation, support regulation, and strengthen relationships.

Focus: Meaningful Data

Learn simple, realistic ways to collect data that actually helps. Participants will identify what’s worth tracking, how to gather information naturally during daily routines, and how to use patterns to guide decisions.

Focus: Generalization
Ensure success beyond the training by learning how to generalize strategies across staff, settings, and situations—so skills transfer where they matter most.
