PMTO Informed Training

Throughout the year, we provide no-fee, PMTO Informed trainings for specialists interested in becoming PMTO/PTC certified and for anyone who works with children (child care workers, school staff, medical clinic staff, etc.) This training is not the full training needed to be certified but is a required step for those interested in applying for the PMTO State Trainings. It provides a look into a few of the components of PMTO: Encouragement, Directions, and Emotional Regulation. Please see our PMTO informed training section for more details and to register.
