Assessments in IDD
Hours: 2.00
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities, or IDD, experience many types of assessments. Accurate, relevant assessments are key to meeting a person's needs. Assessment results can be used to identify needs, determine funding for services, and design daily supports. In this course, you will learn about assessments used in the human services field. You will learn about what makes a good assessment, their different purposes, and potential problems with assessments. You will also learn about your role in the assessment process.
This training is an overview of the purpose, function, methods, and basic forms of assessment. It is not a training on any specific type of assessment and will not qualify participants to be an assessor.
