Training Center of Excellence

Learn with a Purpose

Easterseals NH’s Training Center of Excellence is a new, high-quality professional development opportunity for working direct support professionals, using best practices in adult learning. 

In the fall of 2024, Easterseals NH became the Granite State’s first and only accredited National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP) competency-based training provider. Thanks to a state-funded grant, Easterseals NH can provide free training for direct support professionals working for different social services agencies across the state that will lead to NADSP accreditation.

Acquiring this certification acknowledges direct support professionals for their exemplary work in supporting people with intellectual disabilities or acquired brain injuries. There are three levels of certification—DSP-I, DSP-II, and DSP-III—each designed to recognize the knowledge, skills, and values of direct support professionals.
