Project Description:

The CDS initially developed a five-module curriculum in about 1992 for the training of care givers of persons with developmental disabilities. The curriculum is used in a 40 hour required training session for foster home providers and other care givers to persons with developmental disabilities. The curriculum was out-of-date and needed revising. Additionally, the curriculum lacked adequate coverage of oral health issues. Consumers and community providers were used in revising the draft and providing input on changes.
