Jeffrey T. Barth, PhD
With profound sadness, we bid farewell to our cherished friend and co-founder of the Neurobehavioral Training Institute (NTI), Dr. Jeffrey T. Barth. Jeff passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on Saturday, March 8th. In his memory, NTI will honor Dr. Barth by dedicating the QBISP Mentor Course to him. Dr. Barth was a devoted educator and mentor to numerous professionals; his contributions to the field will be deeply missed.
The mission of the QBISP program is to improve the lives of persons with neurobehavioral challenges by providing direct care staff with practical skills, and by training supervisors to use a model for daily mentorship that reinforces these skills.
The program advances this mission through a live and interactive two-day Provider Course and a one-day intensive Mentor Course.
Interactive in-person teaching format that encourages discussion of familiar cases and a de-emphasis fact memorization
Applying the acquired skills to the work place setting through role-playing
A method to think therapeutically and intervene effectively when “your buttons are being pushed”
In-class review to reinforce learning and reduce test anxiety often associated a “final examination”
Helps the supervisor create a workplace culture that reinforces the lessons and methods learned in the Basic staff training
4-day workshop to further assist in the execution and reinforcement of both the Basic and Supervisor courses
