IHSS Social Worker Training Academy

The attached curriculum/materials were developed for use in conjunction with training provided by the IHSS Social Worker Training Academy, which features a discussion-based training designed to promote consistent needs assessments by IHSS social workers in assigning functional levels and authorizing IHSS services.
