Introduction to 245D and the Disability Field 💻

​This class is ideal for new 245D providers or managers who have little to no previous experience, or for those wanting a foundational level course on 245D services and the field of disabilities. During this course, we will explore many topics including terminology, statutes and regulations, waiver information, the purpose of licensure, your roles and responsibilities according to state regulations, and much more!

Course Objectives:

• Understand human service and statutory language and terminology
• Explore the statutes and regulations that providers are required to follow
• Learn waiver-related information and how these waivers are funded and pay for services
• Discover the purpose of licensure for service provision and the provider's responsibilities to meeting those requirements
• Discuss policy and procedure standards and how to implement 245D services driven by statute and policy
• Learn support team positions, their roles, and how they impact services provided to the individual
• Gain an introduction to person-centered approaches and service delivery

Though specifically geared to new providers or those who have limited experience in the field, long term human service professionals can also benefit from the information as a refresher.
