Looking for a study buddy for certification! I live in Rockland County, NY and want to get certified. Anyone certified already that can recommend where and what materials you used for cerification.
Thanks for your feedback

I'd like to be your study buddy, but I'm 4,000 miles away
I'm also interested in a recommendation for a good study text. Did you sit in on the webinar about certification?

I recently got certified! :)
I bought the book "Core Curriculum for Specializing in Intellectual and Developmental Disability" by Wendy Nehring. It's really great for studying. I don't know what all I am allowed to say, but if I did it all over again, I would focus a lot more on specific cause and effect type of things... like if a person has Y syndrome and takes X med, what labs should you watch? Not sure if that makes sense... Another thing that was really helpful (but I can't find them now that the DDNA website has changed) were the powerpoints from past conferences.
Congratulations!!!!!
and thanks for the study tip. Time for me to get busy!
