feedback on the competencies
 

Basic competences checklist

- I like the hire date on the tops of the pages

-Referring to 3a and 3 b columns

I like the words “proficiency confirmed” moved to column 3b, because that is the final date I am meeting with the DSPs and having them sign the entire packet.

I like to use column 3a during training and meetings I have with DSPs within the 180 days. Often times that box has an earlier date, if I have found them competent on that particular topic/item then 3b I confirm proficiency.

- The original packet, I like the 2 different signature boxes for confirmation sign offs. Having those 2 separate boxes helps me remember we need to separate confirmation dates, with all our busy lives, I find having the separate boxes helpful as in the original set.

-3.14 is a supervisor skill it should have N/A in the DSP column

-Question about the additional year signature pages- Would the original completion signature be considered year one and not have year 1, on a separate page?

- The last pages of signatures section for year 1, 2, 3 and 4 are too confusing. The original competency set of subsequent signature section was easier to understand with competent on the top, disclaimer in the middle and a second signature for reconfirmation. 

The new format is way too confusing and has several pages where it could go back to a single page in the original format.

 

Complex support competencies

  • I like the hire date at the top
  • Content is good.
  • I like that the content is downsized from 3 packets to all-inclusive to 1, original packets were repetitive with each other. Great job condensing.
  • I like the check boxes for Health, Behavior, and Autism
  • Same question as above would signature for year 1 be the same as the date of completing the original packet. Can year 1 be eliminated?
  • Same comment above about all the additional signature pages, original format was better.
