Program-specific training ensures Direct Support Professionals are prepared for the exact supports a person uses. When training is tailored to the participant's program needs, DSPs learn the specific goals, routines, and safety procedures that apply to that individual, including how to communicate in ways the person understands, how to handle medical or behavioral supports, and emergency steps. That relevance makes training more effective and helps keep the participant safe and supported. Generic online modules, while useful for general knowledge, often miss these unique requirements. No program-specific training is required conflicts with the need for informed, competent support. Training should be developed with guidance from the agency or broker team and in partnership with the participant’s plan—not created by the participant alone.
