of the competencies necessary to support individuals with developmental disabilities under the DD Waivers. By the end of the 180 day evaluation period, individuals must demonstrate all skills and actions under each competency, which is confirmed by checkmarks in the last column. The competency is then considered met and can be dated and initialed by the approving supervisor, director, or director’s designee. Proficiency confirmed: individual demonstrates all aspects of the skill or action and on a routine basis in practice as appropriate to the skill or action; minimal supervision needed DSPs and Supervisors are deemed proficient with each competency once all related skills and behaviors have been confirmed and indicated upon the checklist, including noting as not applicable (NA) if an action related to any skill does not apply in the current role. Each competency must be dated and initialed by the supervisor for DSPs or the agency director (or designee) for supervisors. This checklist must be reconfirmed (and as updated as appropriate) at least annually and as needed to ensure that DSPs and their supervisors are proficient in the competencies as described. Competencies may be documented on this tool or adapted into an electronic format as long as the competencies and areas of reporting remain consistent with this document. The initial completion of the checklist and annual updates must be maintained in personnel documents and available for review by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, the Department of Medical Assistance Services and other reviewers as needed.
