ARCH  convened an Expert Workgroup that participated in an extensive review of existing core competencies and evidence-based frameworks developed by national and state organizations, governmental entities, and universities in training curriculum for direct support professionals and respite providers. The workgroup then helped to identify core competencies specific for respite providers. These core competencies will be used to enhance an existing respite provider training curriculum that will be field tested it in up to 12 states. The effort will be evaluated, and a replication toolkit developed.
