Since 1974 the RIP Expansion Project has provided services to aid in the development and operation of Regional Intervention Program replication sites. Professional staff, administrative staff, parents and board members from sponsoring agencies in the United States, Canada, Venezuela, and Brazil have participated in the development of replication sites. Training is conducted at the Regional Intervention Program facility in Nashville, Tennessee. The training cycles are six weeks in duration for prospective staff from new sites. Training services are provided without charge to approved sponsoring agencies within the state of Tennessee. Each replication site must address specific community needs and be prepared to accommodate special local circumstances. At the same time, each site must incorporate essential elements of the RIP model in its design and operation. The RIP Expansion Project is available to provide continued assistance in program development and conducting ongoing training activities, meetings, and conferences.
