The California Department of Education, Special Education Division, requires DRDP training for all special educators who assess children with the DRDP.

  • SELPAs are responsible for ensuring that all staff who administer the DRDP complete training.
  • All required training is accessed through DRAccessLearn.org.
  • When creating an account with DR Access Learn, assessors should make sure to select the correct District and SELPA to ensure their training progress goes to the correct SELPA.

Note: The DR Access Learn account login is unique and not associated with other Desired Results Access Project logins such as DR Access Reports.

Three online courses are required:

  1. Using the DRDP (2015) for Special Education – Infant/Toddler
    - or -
    Using the DRDP (2015) for Special Education – Preschool/TK/K
  2. Benny Having a Snack
  3. Using DR Access Reports

The courses will appear in the assessors account one at a time. Once a course is completed, the next one will become available. Assessors must complete the DRDP for all eligible children regardless of course completion status. SELPA Directors will receive training status reports throughout the year.

Optional professional development opportunities will be offered throughout the year.
