Discovery
The goal of Discovery certification is to develop skills in determining contributions, interests and conditions of a learning partner who experiences significant impact of a disability, using a qualitative, descriptive, non-evaluative process. Documenting these descriptions in a profile document, developing a customized plan for employment and creating a visual resume are also skills you will acquire. You will need approximately 40 – 50 hours over the 20-week period to complete the performance based certification requirements. Some states require the MG&A performance based certification to become a preferred provider. Please check with your state requirements.
Please note that you MUST have attended a Three-day MG&A Discovery Gateway Training before you may register for Discovery certification. You must also have attended all three days. After attending the training, the cost of pursuing the 20 week certification process in Discovery is $850. THIS CERTIFICATION FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE. The fee for re-certification is $150.00 per area of certification.
