Administering the Impaired Driving Assessment, A Refresher Course
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 24, 2021
9:30AM - 10:30AM
Session Type: Workshop
The Impaired Driving Assessment (IDA) was developed by the American Probation and Parole Association to provide users the ability to capture the unique risk factors and treatment needs of the high risk impaired driving population. Since the advent of the IDA in 2013, hundreds of jurisdictions have received certification training on how to properly administer this tool. This interactive presentation will serve as a refresher on how to administer the IDA to DWI clients in a proper way and interpret and use the information obtained from the IDA to inform case management and supervision practices. Additionally, information will be provided on new tools that are available to increase efficiencies in conducting the IDA and interpreting the results.
