Virtual Training: Creating a Culture of Competency

Events

In this 3-hour virtual training, NADSP staff will present an interactive and engaging workshop on building a culture of direct support competence into an organization’s every day practice. During the training, our instructors will demonstrate how the NADSP Code of Ethics and NADSP Competency Areas will improve DSP skills and outcomes of those you support. This training dives deep into supporting freedom, justice, and equality for all.  Within the training, we will conduct some fun, yet serious, virtual role-playing activities to provide direct support professionals guidance in navigating the most complex scenarios that they might encounter while doing their work. Lastly, understanding and developing the skills of Informed Decision-Making will conclude this dynamic virtual training session.
