Creating a Culture of Competence-

John Raffaele NADSP


John Raffaele from the National Association of Direct Support Professionals will be presenting from 9:00 am-12:00 pm, virtually (via Zoom). There will be a 15-minute break mid-way through the presentation.

"Creating a Culture of Competency"

In this engaging and interactive training session, join John to learn the latest best practices in direct support that go well beyond the regulations and state-level requirements for this profession. Most training and development for direct support professionals (DSPs) focuses on regulatory and mandated topics. By embracing the NADSP Code of Ethics and focusing on nationally-validated NADSP Competency Areas, direct support professionals and organizations can ensure that they are supporting personal autonomy, access to integrated settings, informed choices, and person-centered practices.


Objectives:
Introduce participants to the NADSP Competencies and Code of Ethics
Discuss the process of how to create systems in an organization to be more responsive to the developmental and professional needs of direct support professionals
Encourage direct support professionals to take responsibility in their professional development by embracing the Competencies and the Code of Ethics
