Virginia — DBHDS/DMAS DSP Training
Tracks Virginia's DD waiver direct support professional training mandate: the DMAS-approved standardized orientation test and observed competency checklists required by 12VAC30-122-180, plus the DBHDS licensing orientation and retraining topics in 12VAC35-105-440 and -450. Built for DSPs serving adults with developmental disabilities under DBHDS-licensed providers. Follows Virginia's own regulations — the state-authored orientation test and checklists are tracked as external evidence completed in-agency, not replaced by vendor courses.
One organized view of what each learner has completed, what is still due, and what needs to be renewed.
