Description
Assessment, as discussed in this course, is the process that unfolds as you and the consumer work together to find solutions to the consumer’s long-term services and support needs. For you, assessment means uncovering the physical, mental, emotional, familial, and social conditions that might be acting as barriers to full participation in the person’s life. For the consumer, it means placing trust in another person’s ability to help them find the resources they need to live full and productive lives.
*You can register for this course individually or as part of a certificate program.
