Studio III Training Systems provides a non aversive approach to challenging behaviour. We offer criterion-based training, working with staff to develop specific skills to meet the particular needs of the service user. It is essential that the background to the service users problems is understood by all staff and that this understanding is used to define the direction in which these problems may be addressed. Studio III is not a provider of generic physical intervention strategies as the majority of our work is designed to promote the management of challenging behaviour in a totally non-violent, gentle and dignified way by the use of ‘low-arousal’ techniques and gentle physical skills.
Training staff to manage crises is a major service industry in the UK and Europe. StudioIII Training Systems has been at the leading edge of such training for over a decade.
The StudioIII approach is typified by a major emphasis on applied research. This has led to an evidence based training system. A review of staff training in physical interventions (Allen 2000) reported that StudioIII Training Systems accounted for 46% of all learning disabilities studies.
