Don't let your office hours stand between you & your newest employee! Virtual learning is an option to use.
DBHDS has added supplemental topics to supplement the existing DSP Orientation curriculum that relate to identifying and responding to changes in mental status and choking risk.
During this two-part series, all attendees will review Sections 1-6 & the new supplemental information in preparation to pass the required DSP Orientation Test with at least 80% accuracy.
This supplemental DSP training content is required for all DSPs and DSP Supervisors hired on or after 11/15/21. This training must be completed every 5 years.
