Approximately 108 privately operated facilities were identified; the number of professional employees in these facilities could not be determined. Only two States required any type of certificate/license for either professional employees or administrators. An average of 99.7 hours of training is required for new professional employees in 14 departments. Only 10 States required this training. Only five States required specialized preservice training for new administrators. In these States, an average of 44.8 hours of specialized training was required.
