I find regulation18VAC95-30-170-B-4 biased in favor of large facilities who are licensed for 20 residents or more. I ask the board to consider to strike this from the regulations. 

I see no reason why a facility licensed for 20 residents or more, would make a better AIT facility than a small one. In both cases, they are caring for the same types of residents and following the Virginia Department of Social Services Regulations. 

If small providers are unable to serve as a training facility, and many of the large facilities are not willing to train those who are not their own employee, the question becomes how are small providers going to get their employees trained to become Administrators so they may be in compliance with the Virginia State regulations? 

Thank you so much for your time and consideration. It is appreciated.
