What is TBRI®?
Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) is a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach designed to support children with complex developmental needs. Rooted in neuroscience and attachment theory, TBRI bridges the gap between what children need emotionally and what caregivers provide practically — responding to every child with both structure and nurture.
Neuroscience
Grounded in how the brain develops, regulates, and responds to stress and safety signals.
Attachment Theory
Builds secure, trusting relationships that become the foundation for healing and growth.
Practical Strategies
Translates research into real-world caregiving tools that are immediately usable.
Three Core Principles of TBRI®
Every aspect of TBRI® is built on three interconnected principles that work together to support the whole child.
🛡️ Felt Safety
Creating environments where children don't just know they are safe — they feel it in their body and nervous system.
🤝 Connection
Strengthening attachment and trust through consistent, attuned relationships that children can rely on.
⚖️ Regulation
Teaching the whole child — brain, body, and beliefs — the skills to manage their internal states and responses.
How TBRI® Applies to Autism
Autism is a neurodevelopmental difference, not a trauma-based condition. However, children with autism frequently experience chronic overwhelm, sensory stress, and social misattunement that can dysregulate their nervous systems in ways that look — and feel — a lot like trauma responses.
TBRI® can be thoughtfully adapted to honor how children with autism experience the world, reducing shame and increasing the kind of structured, compassionate support that helps them thrive.
What TBRI® Offers Children with Autism
- Honors sensory processing differences
- Supports co-regulation and self-regulation
- Uses concrete, action-based teaching
- Reduces shame while increasing structure
- Builds connection without overwhelming
What You'll Learn: Topics Covered
This training delivers five frameworks you can put to work right away with the children with autism in your care.

2
4 Levels of Response
Practical strategies to prevent and de-escalate meltdowns at every stage — before, during, and after dysregulation occurs.
3
The IDEAL Response
How to apply evidence-based strategies in real time when a child needs support, with clarity and calm confidence.
4
Sensory Adaptations
How to thoughtfully adapt your approach for sensory and communication differences unique to each child with autism.
5
Regulation-Ready Spaces
How to design and adjust environments that actively support nervous system regulation throughout the day.
