    A shortage of direct care staff threatens community integration for individuals with developmental disabilities. New associate degree programs aim to improve staff training and retention, supporting community adjustment.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Disabilities
    • Healthcare Workforce
    • Community Integration

    Background:

    • Direct care staff are essential for community adjustment of individuals with developmental disabilities.
    • A significant shortage of qualified direct care staff impedes community integration efforts, especially for those with intensive needs.
    • Enhanced training, compensation, and incentives are crucial for the direct care workforce.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the implementation and components of an associate degree training program for direct care staff.
    • To address the growing need for qualified personnel in developmental disabilities services.
    • To highlight the role of University Affiliated Facilities in promoting exemplary training.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of an associate degree program within Wisconsin's Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education System.

  • Program development based on local needs and collaboration among academic, advocacy, and service communities.
  • Focus on exemplary training for direct care staff.

    • Main Results:

    • A new associate degree program has been established to train direct care staff.
    • The program is a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders.
    • It serves as a model for addressing workforce shortages in developmental disabilities services.

    Conclusions:

    • Associate degree programs are a viable response to the shortage of direct care staff.
    • Collaboration is key to developing effective training programs.
    • University Affiliated Facilities can play a significant role in workforce development.
