This training benefits multi-disciplinary coaches, consultants, and other providers supporting children and families with behavior intervention processes including, but not limited to: Early Interventionist, ECMHCs, School Districts & Head Start, Behavior Specialists, School Psychologists, Child Find Specialists, Coaches, and more.
