West Virginia DSP Training Audit Checklist
Every training West Virginia requires for direct support professionals, with the deadline and the official rule, so you can check each staff file before your next review. The manual does not set an hour count for the positive behavior support overview, and agencies may accept another agency's training but are not required to.
