Description:
Participation in this intensive four part course will assist Qualified Intellectual Disabilities Professionals in gaining a clear understanding of their role and obtaining the skills needed to effectively carry out their duties. Although there is a didactic component, class size is limited to ensure interactive discussion and a meaningful learning experience.

Topics include: 
Regulatory Requirements & Survey Management
QIDPs are responsible for overseeing facility compliance with an array of state and federal regulations. This class will provide QIDPs with knowledge about those regulatory requirements and how to monitor for compliance. Techniques to better prepare for and manage the survey process are also heavily emphasized.

Interdisciplinary Teams:
Each individual receiving services in an ICF/DD, ICF/DD-H, or ICF/DD-N must have a person-centered program developed in conjunction with the interdisciplinary (ID) team. This class will cover the composition of the ID team and the facilitation of a successful ID team process.
 
Writing Objectives, Client Reviews & Plan Implementation:
The goal in developing client-centered objectives and plans is to support individuals in developing new skills and/or preventing loss of existing skills.

Managing Challenging Behaviors:
Staff who work with persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities frequently support people with challenging behaviors that interfere in their daily lives. The QIDP is key in helping staff members learn to deal effectively with difficult behavioral issues. Through this class, the QIDP will learn to identify the root cause of behavioral issues and lead key staff in developing a plan that will help reduce or eliminate undesirable behaviors.

Requirements to Become a QIDP:
Either one year of experience providing services to individuals with developmental disabilities and a bachelor's degree (major or minor in human services), or a professional certification in healthcare (RN, MD, PT, RT, OT, etc.).
