This is the BASIC training for
providers for the A.B.I. Medicaid Waiver Program.
The training covers acquired brain injury and
person-centered planning. It does not cover how to
provide specific services, but gives background on
the population served under this program and
explains the way in which it is run. It is free of
charge. The training is required for A.B.I. service
providers who provide any of the following services:
| •
Companion Services |
•
Community Living
Support Services |
• Independent Living Skills
Training and
Development |
|
• Respite Services |
• Personal
Care Assistance |
You are receiving this notice
because you fit into the category of providers who
require training or because we would like you to
pass this on to providers you know who need
training. The training is for direct care staff of
agencies and for individuals providing any of the
above services. The training is only required once,
so any employees that have already attended one of
the previous trainings, do not need to attend.
Live Trainings are held every other
month, so please take advantage of this opportunity.
To Agency Providers: It is
suggested that you try to send as many staff members
to the training as possible, as the program is
continually growing and providers are needed. Many
agencies are contacted to work on Waiver cases
during the quarter and cannot meet the need because
they have very few staff that has completed the
training. Don’t let that happen to you! Sign staff
up today.
