Week 3 Discussion Here is the Discussion Forum for Week 3’s online session
Developing Valid Program Admission Criteria
Review the Guided Practice Exercise 4.4 in the Watson & Flamez text on page 95. Based on the text’s discussion of “Characteristics of Sound Criteria” (pp. 94-ff.) as well as other pertinent information in the chapter, discuss what Valid Admission Criteria you would use for accepting clients into a residential co-occurring disorder program. In other words what criteria would you use and why? And how would you ensure clients meet that criteria? Be specific and concrete in terms of how you would identify and select “valid – sound criteria” for your admissions criteria.
