DOCUMENTATION REFRESHER (Documentation-R) | NON-CREDIT TRAINING
If you're in need of a refresher course on paperwork, this is the place to be. There are dozens of forms that will cross your desktop—the physical one, and the digital one—and you'll need to know the best ways to find them out, fill them in, and send them back.
Documentation-Refresher is an unpaid training. This training, effective 7/1/2009, is required only for TSS/PCA at the directive of the Case Manager or Coordinator. Other staff are welcome to complete this training as a personal refresher, but you will not be paid for it. This training should not be entered into your electronic timesheet and you will not receive training credits for it.
ETHICS | 2 credits
The question of ethics in human services is unfortunately not always a priority consideration.

BEHAVIORIAL PHARMACOLOGY | 2 Credits
This course will examine the psychopharmacology of several common mental disorders encountered by Home and Community Services staff.

DSM-IV-TR | 2 Credits
This course was designed to provide a general overview of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (and all subsequent editions as published). Participants will gain an understanding of the codes, criteria and descriptive texts that comprise a DSM-IV entry, as well as the axes involved in a comprehensive diagnosis, so that they might interpret and benefit from the specific diagnoses that psychiatrists and medical professionals make regarding their clients.

Staff will be able to better comply with "best practices" and display professional behavior in the delivery of services in both the home and school settings, and be able to confidently meet the terms of subjects such as fraud prevention, confidentiality, mandated reporting and record keeping. CULTURAL DIVERSITY | 2 credits
This training will explore the subject of cultural sensitivity, competence, stereotyping, and assumptions. Through a combination of lessons and interactive assignments, the course will force participants to look inward, reflect on their own culture as well as the cultures of their clients, and respond with an acceptance that helps families and clients feel comfortable and respected.
Reactive Attachment Disorder | 2 Credits
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is a severe attachment disorder characterized by markedly disturbed and developmentally inappropriate ways of relating socially.

This training will quickly review Autism Spectrum Disorders, discuss the different types of interventions for behaviors, learn about the people behind some of these interventions, and review what you need to know as a professional working with a child diagnosed with Autism.
The Challenges of Parenting a Child with Autism | 2 Credits
The professional's unidentified client is the family of the child they serve. Parents and extended family will be challenged by the disorder in many ways; the purpose of this training is to provide the professional caregiver a window into the dynamics of a household with an Autistic Child.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOR THERAPY | 2 credits
This training is an introduction to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), which is a clinical methodology that helps the client to uncover and alter distortions of thought or perceptions that may be causing or prolonging psychological distress.

This course will examine the characteristics, history, treatment and interventions of Asperger's Syndrome.

ATTENTION-DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) | 2 Credits
Almost all children have behavior issues from time to time. But, for children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), behavioral problems are persistent and occur over a long period of time, creating school, home, and social challenges. This course will examine the characteristics, treatment and interventions for children and adults diagnosed with ADHD. The purpose of the training is not to guide or influence diagnosis or treatment provided by a licensed physician or psychologist, but to inform and prepare professionals and para-professionals of the social, emotional, and clinical considerations of the disorder. ASD and Family Dynamics: A Primer for Home-Based Therapy | 6 Credits
This primer was designed to orient MTs, BSCs and other professionals to special elements found in providing home-based therapy to families of children diagnosed with an ASD. It is in no way an exhaustive resource. All professionals working in this situation must locate themselves within a supportive network of colleagues and supervisors, maintain up-to-date knowledge of ASDs, and be constantly thinking about the ethical implications of their actions.
HCS forms, policies, and other professional information can be found here. Note: You must be logged in to view these resources.
