Ongoing Support for the iRT Approach

We offer monthly support groups at no charge for clinicians using the iRT approach. These groups provide opportunities for ongoing learning and collaboration:

The Probable Map Group
This monthly group uses the iRT assessment approach to guide clinical interventions. Clinicians can present their cases to gain insights into effective entry points for treatment. NCAR provides a brief literature search on topics related to the cases presented.

The Study Group
In this monthly group, participants read and discuss a selected book or research paper to deepen their scientific understanding.
