Abstract: This study was conducted to measure the relationship between the implementation of Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) Training and student's experience in a regular school setting. There are differing opinions that suggest the implementation of CPI training would not appear different in varying settings, nor would the student's experience be altered. In this study, clients from Wasserman Day Treatment were surveyed about their experience in a regular school setting and how staff handled their crises. This study shows that staff in regular school settings did not handle client's crises in the expected terms outlined in CPI trainings and actually worsened the client's experience at school. The implementation of CPI training varies between school based and mental health based settings causing school based settings to not always be best fit for individuals struggling behaviorally.
