What Participants Are Saying
"CADER training helps staff to get the whole picture of the client’s needs (physical, medical, emotional, family/friends and community). It gets easier for staff to understand why it is so important to refer clients to the appropriate resources in the community. We have seen more consumer satisfaction since implementing CADER training programs." – A Program Specialist from California
"We are excited to be partnering with the New York State Office for the Aging and CADER to offer a certification program that enhances their qualifications and deepens their expertise through standardized core competencies." – Director, Oneida County Office for the Aging
"This was very appropriate for my work as an Aging and Disability Services Specialist. It was informative for me even as a 23–year aging veteran. It is even more appropriate for all new staff to take this course. I wish it had been around when I started my job." – A recent learner from the “Assessment with Older Adults and Persons with Disabilities” course.
