Oklahoma DSP Training Audit Checklist
Every training Oklahoma requires for direct support professionals, with the deadline and the official rule, so you can check each staff file before your next review. These rows are the residential supports and group home timelines in 340:100-3-38.1. In-home and employment staff follow different sections. Courses used to meet the rules must be DDS-approved. TES tracks DDS courses. It does not replace them.
