Why the Academy
Built for practitioners who refuse to accept the status quo.
Deep, Meaningful Training
Seven curriculum modules that don't just teach COMPASS — they challenge how you see your work, your participants, and yourself.
A Credential Worth Holding
The COMPASS Certified Practitioner designation is earned through 90 days of practice, case record review, and a live practical assessment. It is not a quiz.
A Community That Lasts
Certification is the beginning. The COMPASS Collective is the ongoing community of practice where certified practitioners share, grow, and carry the movement forward.
The Anti-CCI Philosophy
We do not help participants.
We support them.
Anti-CCI means Anti-Corporate, Anti-Clinical, Anti-Institutional. It means the participant is the author of their own life — not a case to be managed, not a deficit to be remediated, not a problem to be solved.
Every COMPASS-certified practitioner has committed to this philosophy in writing — through the Code of Professional Practice — before earning their credential.
Three Levels. One Movement.
Each certification level builds on the last — deepening practice, expanding responsibility, and advancing the framework.

Every certified practitioner joins The COMPASS Collective — a growing community of people who believe the disability services landscape can be transformed, and are doing the work to prove it.
“Every certified practitioner joins something larger than a credential. They join a movement of people who refused to accept that this was the best the field could do.”
