Guidance §483.440(c)(5)(i)

The training program provides clear directions to any staff person working with the client on

how to implement the teaching strategies. To comply with this requirement the methodologies

must be written in a clear enough manner that a substitute staff person will be able to read the

methodologies and implement them without substantial differences from a regularly assigned

staff person. Methodologies should be consistent across settings, such as when the client is in

the day program.
