IPPI clinicians Elizabeth Sellinger, Director of Education and Behavior Analysis Services; Katie Cyr, Program Director; and Tamara Shook, Clinical Supervisor, spearheaded a three-year project and an on-going effort to empower employees through a comprehensive performance management plan at the IPPI Learning Academy in Connecticut.
The Learning Academy, with locations in Stratford and Naugatuck, serves students in kindergarten through grade twelve with a variety of disabilities including autism, emotional disturbance, ADHD, and intellectual disabilities. Referrals to the school are made by school districts and/or parents.
Given the complex work required to support and educate the children participating in the school program, comprehensive staff training and on-going coaching and feedback are essential. IPPI’s process starts with an analysis of the training needs of each individual staff. Training and support are tailored individually to each staff member with customized behavior skills training, coaching, and feedback. This process both maximizes outcomes while being mindful of the time constraints of clinicians.
IPPI is thrilled that the school’s clinical team has been recognized by the OBM Network and is motivated to keep learning and growing in the area of performance management.
