This week, we proudly join organizations across the country in celebrating Direct Support Professionals (DSP) Recognition Week. It’s a time dedicated to honoring the incredible individuals who serve on the frontlines, providing essential care and support to people with developmental disabilities. DSPs are the backbone of our mission, making a profound difference in the lives of those they support, and their commitment, compassion, and hard work truly deserve to be recognized.

Direct Support Professionals not only ensure the safety and well-being of those in their care but also foster independence, create opportunities, and build meaningful relationships. Whether it’s helping someone learn a new skill, navigate daily challenges, or simply offering a listening ear, the role of a DSP is invaluable. We know that the work is not always easy, but it is always important, and the impact our DSPs have is immeasurable.

We hope you take a few moments to watch our CEO’s message to our DSPs and reflect on the incredible work they do every day. Their contributions are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated—not just this week, but always.
