Training
Build shared knowledge and practical skills
CBSI offers interdisciplinary learning opportunities that connect evidence with application. Training is shaped around the audience, setting, goals, and the decisions or practices participants need to use.
Learning Shaped to the Audience and Setting
Use relevant examples, language, and practice opportunities
CBSI training can support educators, behavioral health and healthcare professionals, direct support professionals, first responders, supervisors, organizational leaders, students, families, and community partners. The same topic may be framed differently for a classroom team, healthcare setting, public-safety agency, workplace, community organization, or cross-sector group.
Content, examples, activities, and materials are adapted to participant roles, existing knowledge, local priorities, culture, available resources, and the settings in which learning will be applied.

Learning Through Application
Move beyond exposure to supported use
Depending on the format and goal, training may combine instruction, discussion, demonstration, case examples, guided practice, simulation, reflection, feedback, and planning for use. The design helps participants connect new information with the real decisions, routines, interactions, and conditions they encounter.
Training can include opportunities to gather participant feedback, assess learning, and identify where additional practice or support may be useful. Evaluation methods are matched to the purpose and scope of the offering.
Training Within a Broader Continuum
A stand-alone resource or the beginning of deeper support
A training may be the right complete response to a focused learning need. In other situations, participants may benefit from coaching, consultation, implementation support, workforce development, or organizational and systems work. CBSI makes those connections visible without assuming that every participant needs the same next step.
Connection to HANDS in Autism®
Build from an established hands-on learning model
Autism- and disability-focused training grounded in the HANDS Model remains available through HANDS in Autism®. HANDS connects instruction with demonstration, practice, feedback, coaching, and mentoring. CBSI builds from that foundation for broader educational, behavioral health, healthcare, workforce, organizational, public-system, and community priorities.
