Continuing education refers to ongoing training and learning opportunities that help DSPs enhance their skills and knowledge in providing support to individuals with diverse needs. Often held by experienced caregivers, CE units are a staple for transfering earned knowledge.

So much of the documentation in direct care has been hampered by conflicting directives and a lack of clarity for caregivers. The MyDoDad difference is focusing on Person-Centered Documentation that supports your entire care team. This separates best practice documentation from arbitrary (and often conflicting) departmental guidelines, so you have the confidence of having the information you need, when you need it.

The requirements for earning CEUs as a DSP may vary based on your state certification or licensing board. Typically, you will need to complete specific courses or training programs that represent a number of hours of education and accumulate a certain number of CEU credits within a defined time period. MyDoDad Academy classes offer 2 CEU credits per class. 

Yes! Virtual trainings are fully accepted by most, if not all, state DSP licensing bodies. 

Every MyDoDad Academy class includes a comprehension quiz and certificate of completion that you can give to your employer or licensing board to show proof of your work. 

CEU classes for DSPs cover a range of topics relevant to the field, such as person-centered planning, behavior support strategies, communication skills, cultural competence, medical conditions and disabilities, ethical considerations, and more.
