The DITEP (Drug Impairment Training for Educational Professionals) program is designed primarily for administrators, teachers, school resource officers, counselors, nurses and education trainers in the academic setting.
The two day class will provide school personnel who have never attended a DITEP class, or may not have been to one recently, detailed information on how to recognize impairment, evaluate the individual, and address that impairment with parents.
The course includes an introduction and overview of the course, information on alcohol and the seven drug categories, drug combinations and polydrug use, and policies and procedures on contacting parents. Along with that information, there will be hands-on training in how to administer the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Vertical Gaze Nystagmus, and Lack of Convergence tests, eye examinations, Divided Attention Testing such as the Romberg Balance, Walk and Turn, One Leg Stand, and Finger to Nose tests, and using a person’s vital signs to provide information about the presence or absence of various categories of drugs.
***We provide Continuing Professional Educator certificates for educators, Addiction Professional certificates for counselors, and TCOLE credit for law enforcement.
