Important scope

Training supports local practice. It does not replace it.

Organizations remain responsible for district policies, student-specific plans, IEP implementation, mandated reporting procedures, emergency protocols, and required hands-on crisis training. Customer policy inserts will connect the course framework to each organization’s expectations.
