While we do have to be aware of competencies and potential weakness to identified for training/retraining so that DD individuals are safe from abuse or neglect, this would be a better tool if developed into a once-a-year online competencies test.  From that test, strengths, weaknesses and areas that need addressed can be identified, the situation becomes a pass or fail. In addition to centralizing the data with the department, the needed reduction in time and paperwork for the provider(s) is realized and more focus can given to the DD individuals being served as opposed to the ever growing burden of paperwork. .
