MAP Training Requirements
1.) What do I need for the training?
A laptop with Wi-fi capability and access to Microsoft Excel, an open mind, and a positive attitude
2.) Do I need to use a work laptop or personal laptop?
You can use either a work laptop or a personal laptop – whichever has Wi-fi capability and access to Microsoft Excel.
3.) My laptop does not have Microsoft Excel; can I use a mimic program (i.e., Numbers)?
No. You must use Microsoft Excel. The documents used in training are not compatible with other programs.
4.) What if I don’t have Microsoft Excel?
If you cannot access the program through your agency’s IT department, then please contact one of our team members to address this issue.
5.) What are the requirements for the program?
For NYS Clinician Certification, you must:
- Have at least 3 child/adolescent cases with diagnoses of anxiety, depression, trauma, or disruptive behavior disorder.
- Participate in the pre-training webinar, the in-person training, the mid-point meeting, and bi-weekly webinar consultations for four months.
- Create and complete three dashboards and a MAP Therapist Portfolio for submission.
- Supervise at least one clinician using MAP until they successfully complete the program.
- Participate in the pre-training webinar, the in-person training, the mid-point meeting, and bi-weekly webinar consultations for four months.
- Complete the MAP Supervisor Portfolio for submission.
6.) What does the MAP Therapist Portfolio include?
The MAP Therapist Portfolio includes information about the therapist, the therapist caseload, the direct service learning record, and the direct service case record.
7.) I’m worried about how my therapist portfolio will be scored, what should I do?
We highly recommend attending a portfolio review webinar call with our team before sending in your final portfolio. During this webinar, we will review how to complete your portfolio before sending it in for scoring.
