Evaluation and Checklist

All agencies will be assessed by the evaluation panel based on the Orientation Center Evaluation Checklist. This assessment consists of six (6) content areas which are rated on a 100 point scale. Centers must achieve at least 80% proficiency on all six sections in order to be granted full approval. See the Orientation Center Evaluation Checklist on the web page for specific criteria that are evaluated.

Any agency that fails to meet the 80% threshold, but scores greater than 75% in five of the six sections, may be given up to one year to bring the deficiencies up to standard. This will require a follow up visit at the end of the first year by at least one of the original evaluators. If any two or more standards are rated at 75% or less, approval is not granted and the agency must seek the initial evaluation again.
