Can training be done in-house?
Response: Yes.73. If a person is hired on Aug. 1, 2001, received 15 hours of initial training. (Three months passes prior to assignment to a child). Assigned to a case on Nov. 1, 2001. Do we have six months from Nov. 1, 2001 to complete the 24 hours of additional training?Response: Yes.74. In the Discrete Trial Intervention (DTI) Autism program, I have new workers who, as part of their training, go out on-site to observe experienced workers. This is specifically to learn DTI for autistic children and is specific to each child. Could this count for training?Response: Yes, this could count for a portion of the training; however, all topics listed in MA Bulletin 01-01-05, “Revisions to Policies and Procedures Relating to Mobile Therapy, Behavioral Specialist Consultant and Therapeutic Staff Support Services” must be addressed during the initial training required before the TSS worker may work alone with children.
