Oregon Intervention System (OIS) Trainings 

Shangri-La offers a limited numbers of seats to external participants needing Oregon Intervention System (OIS) certification.

​

Why OIS?

OIS will equip you with the knowledge to support someone to have a meaningful life, even when they act in a way that makes social and community engagement difficult. You will learn practical methods to prevent and respond to difficult situations.

​

Certification Levels

Shangri-La offers OIS to people supporting adults who experience an intellectual or developmental disability. Shangri-La does NOT provide training for those supporting anyone under the age of 18.

​

Three options for OIS certificates: (cost is the same regardless)

  • Basic certificate: No hands-on interventions.

  • General Certificate: Includes some hands-on interventions (escapes, deflections, grab releases, physical positioning, NO PPIs/Safeguarding interventions)

  • Crisis Certificate: Escapes, deflections, grab releases, physical positioning, Limb Control for emergency use only, Belt-Shirt and variations for emergency use only. We do not provide training to a PBSP or physical intervention above the Belt-shirt, you should reach out to the author of the PBSP or your Behavior Professional for additional training/support. 

​

​​​What should I expect?

At Shangri-La, OIS is trained by Shangri-La's Behavioral Professionals. The class is spread over the course of two, 8-hour days (9 a.m. - 5 p.m. with a 1 hour lunch break):

  • Day 1: Primarily consists of classroom-style learning.

  • Day 2: Classroom learning is wrapped-up and and attendees start the physical skills (physical interventions) portion of the training.

​

This workshop is a classroom-style learning environment. You'll spend most of the time learning information through lectures, activities, and discussions. A few hours are reserved for learning how to keep yourself and the people you support physically safe when a crisis occurs. This portion of class requires physical movement and your undivided attention.

​

NOTE: If you have an injury impacting your ability to stoop, lift, or move pain-free, please speak to your supervisor before OIS training. If you need any accommodations, including interpreting services, please note this in your registration form. 

​​

What should I wear?

The classroom temperature varies, so please dress in layers. Choose clothes that are comfortable to move in. Please make sure to wear closed-toed shoes; avoid crocs or similar (even "sport mode.")
