TBM FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
TBM/DD respects the rights and dignity of adults with developmental disabilities, while teaching staff how to better manage their challenging behaviors.
Core content. Requiring 10+ hours, the TBM/DD course helps providers respond to both intentional problems and to genuine emotional crisis, while maintaining strong professional judgement. Because so many people with disabilities have suffered great abuse and neglect in their lives, the course includes information on the lifelong impact of trauma. It also provides skill practice in a variety verbal and non-verbal techniques for calming emotionally intense situations while avoiding unnecessary power struggles.
Optional physical skills. TBM/DD also offers optional training in self-protection, holds, and full restraints, if needed.
