The AIT must select as the primary training site for the AIT Program either a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or an Intermediate Care Facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID).
For AITs selecting a Skilled Nursing Facility as a primary training site, at least one clinical rotation of at least 40 hours must be completed in each of the secondary training sites. For AITs selecting an ICF/IID Facility as a primary training site, a minimum of 480 hours must be completed at the Skilled Nursing Facility site as well as at least 40 hours completed at a Level IV Residential Care Facility.
The prior experience and training of the AIT may be considered in the development and duration and/or depth of training in certain domains. If the AIT is currently, or has been within the previous two (2) years, employed in a professional capacity in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) or an Intermediate Care Facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID) a maximum of 40 hours of AIT work shall be devoted to that field in which the AIT was previously employed
