Who this is for

  • Direct Care Workers serving members with developmental disabilities in Arizona
  • DSPs hired by DDD Qualified Vendor agencies
  • Caregivers moving from Level I into a DD-specific caseload
  • Staff preparing for the DES/DDD-aligned written and skills exam
  • Anyone who needs a citable reference for the DD-specific modules

What's covered

  • DES/DDD role, member eligibility, and Qualified Vendor basics
  • Individual Support Plan (ISP) and Person-Centered Planning
  • The 4 functions of behavior and ABC data collection
  • "All behavior is communication" and unmet-need assessment
  • Positive Behavior Support: always / never strategies, including prohibited techniques
  • Article 9 alignment — R6-6-901 through R6-6-911 and the emergency-measures exception
  • ADLs "do with, not for," prompting hierarchy, and dignity of risk
  • Skin integrity (reposition q2h), aspiration precautions, transfer safety

Why this guide works

  • **DD-only content, not a generic caregiving repack.** The DES/DDD questions test-takers report are not in the Level I manual — they live here.
  • The Article 9 Green/Yellow/Red framework is laid out on one page so you can read it the morning of the test.
  • Honest about what we can and can't deliver: we list every statute; we don't claim access to the official test bank.
  • Built for the working DSP — not for compliance officers.

What test-takers say

Based on public test-taker accounts on Quizlet, Stuvia, Docsity, and caregiver forums: - Test-takers say the DD module is the one that catches Level I veterans off guard because the question style shifts to "function-based" reasoning. - Multiple accounts flag "All behavior is communication" and the 4 functions as the single most-asked topic on the DD form. - The DES/DDD role and Qualified Vendor definitions reportedly show up more than once per form.
