Are you a professional who works with older adults who need to be assessed for their capacity to make sound decisions about their life? Would you benefit from specialized training to correctly make determinations about a client’s decision-making capacity so that you can safeguard them from exploitation and best serve their needs? Would you like to expand your practice in an underserved arena while providing much-needed services to your clients? If so, the Elder Education Institute’s Decision-Making Capacity Assessment Professional Training Program is for you!

Many professionals are often called upon to determine how fit a client is to assume full responsibility for their own life decisions, but most lack proper training to do so with confidence. The only program of its kind in the United States, this program will give professionals who work with older adults the tools they need to correctly assess their clients’ capacity to make sound decisions about their own lives.

Our Decision-Making Capacity Assessment Professional Training Program is a 4-day training, 24 CEU granting program that will prepare you to conduct decision-making capacity assessments correctly, with confidence and following best practices.

In this 4-partprogram you will learn:

• To professionally and correctly assess decisional capacity in older adults and others
• To know when a decisional capacity assessment is necessary and appropriate
• To attend to diverse social and cultural issues when assessing decisional capacity
• To recognize different neurocognitive and mental health disorders and how they impact decision making
• About guardianship and less restrictive alternatives such as POA or supported decision making
• To know which tools and tests to appropriately use in various situations
• How to explain assessment and testing processes and findings to clients and their families
• How to correctly document assessments with proper language for psychological, legal, and judicial perspectives
• This program prepares you for a possible new career track!
