We Create Safer Schools, Districts, Campuses, and Workplaces

Does your school, district, or campus recognize the need for a behavioral intervention team to promote student safety and well-being but lack a clear pathway to forming, fine-tuning, or training that team?

NABITA offers consulting services to all institutions. Contact us if you’re looking for a tailored training solution that suits your requirements.

The BTAMKit: Everything You Need, Without Building It From Scratch

Across K-12 settings, there’s a consensus on the importance of thoughtful assessment, coordinated response, and thorough documentation.
