They will then meet one-on-one with their Direct Supervisor and/or OLU Trainer to review habilitation reporting, teaching strategies, a client’s ISP and the process of pairing with a client. Within the first month of starting habilitation, the OLU Trainer will also come out to observe a provider with his/her client and provide feedback. Additional on-site training between a provider and client will occur after this as needed and at the provider’s or family’s request.

Medication Administration This course covers OLU policies regarding medication administration, what types of medication providers can and cannot administer, law, documentation and more. Providers will be trained on filling out monthly medication administration reports and error reports.
