About Course

Community integration is not optional — it is a civil right. This compliance training equips Direct Support Professionals and care staff in Maryland DDA-licensed group homes with the legal knowledge, practical skills, and person-centered mindset needed to fulfill their integration obligations under Olmstead, ADA Title II, the HCBS Settings Rule, and COMAR 10.22.

You will learn the difference between presence and true inclusion, how to remove barriers, how to document community integration activities to COMAR standards, and how to serve as a facilitator of community membership — not a gatekeeper. Real-world scenarios bring the content to life and prepare you for what you’ll encounter on the job.

This training is aligned with Maryland DDA monitoring standards and is designed to protect both the individuals you serve and your facility’s compliance standing.
