"I had initially reached out to Laura to inquire about hiring her to provide training to our contracted employees, which is a new requirement of NPAs under AB 1172. I am so grateful to have found her! She was familiar with the bill and was able to quickly and efficiently come up with a training. She was professional, responsive and had excellent follow through every step of the way. The training itself was informative, engaging and easy to use. Each section contained a small quiz and she kept a time stamp log in. I highly recommend Laura for any of your training needs!"

M.A., M.Ed., CCC, SLP #4349 Executive Director Augmentative Communication Therapies

"I recently learned that I needed to complete a course on Positive Behavior Intervention to renew my NPA Certificate (AB 1172). I wasn't looking forward to the course because I have been working with students with special needs for nearly 40 years - I thought "of course I know all about this." I ended up taking 3 different courses and Laura Mooiman's AB 1172 Positive Behavior Training online course was by far the best one of the 3. In addition, not only did I enjoy the class but I learned a lot as well. I started implementing the techniques immediately. I would recommend this course to anyone that is interested."

FAQ

  • Does the trainer have to be a BCBA?

    For purposes of fulfilling the AB 1772 requirements, a BCBA is not required by California. You can view the full California State Assembly Bill 1172 here. I have copied and pasted the applicable section below. (B) The training described in this paragraph shall be selected and conducted by the nonpublic, nonsectarian school or agency and shall satisfy all of the following conditions: (i) Be conducted by persons licensed or certified in fields related to the evidence-based practices and interventions being taught. (ii) Be taught in a manner consistent with the development and implementation of individualized education programs. (iii) Be consistent with the requirements of Article 5.2 (commencing with Section 49005) of Chapter 6 of Part 27, relating to pupil discipline.

  • Does the AB 1172 Positive Behavior Training be completed every year?

    Yes, the AB 1172 Positive Behavior Training needs to be completed once a year. Here is the section from AB 1172 that applies. *AB1172 - “(4) (A) (i) Commencing with the 2020–21 school year, documentation that the nonpublic, nonsectarian school or agency will train staff who will have contact or interaction with pupils during the school day in the use of evidence-based practices and interventions specific to the unique behavioral needs of the nonpublic, nonsectarian school or agency’s pupil population.
