Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool (SPDAT) (On-Demand pre-recorded)

The SPDAT is a case management tool that uses four methods of information gathering to best understand the individual adult, unaccompanied youth or family’s strengths and support needs across four core domains: Wellness, Risks, Socialization and Daily Functions, and Housing. Families use these four core domains plus an additional domain that focuses on the needs of the children within the household. The purpose of the SPDAT is to frame a collaborative journey towards change that increases the confidence and self esteem of the household through accountable, structured goals and support.

Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool Train the Trainer (Live Online)

A professional that has used the SPDAT with clients/participants for three or more months is an eligible candidate to become an OrgCode approved SPDAT trainer. This allows your community to continue to train others on the use of SPDAT without needing the OrgCode team for SPDAT training.
