Direct support professionals or DSPs are men and women who provide respite, habilitation, and attendant care services to our clients in their homes and/or in the community.

Our clients range from preschool children to adults and have a variety of interests, activities, and life-skill needs that DSPs can help facilitate and develop. 

DSPs and our clients are paired based on mutual interests, availability, and proximity.

As a DSP, you must possess strong communication skills, positive attitude, ability to work independently, and the desire to work with people who have developmental disabilities.

You must also be capable of lifting at least 50 pounds.

We help people with disabilities receive the support that they need to lead independent, full, and rewarding lives.

This is why our definition of a good DSP is someone who is patient, is adept at providing direct care, and has common sense.

You must treat individuals with developmental disabilities with care, respect, and affection because you believe they are just like anybody else.

You must be a problem solver, open-minded and flexible, and treat people how you want to be treated.

You may perform physical tasks or provide guidance in our client's daily living activities while working directly with them in their homes and communities, depending on individual needs.

You may be asked to help with their bathing, dressing, eating, using the toilet, and transferring in and out of a wheelchair.

As someone who provides this type of support, you must be comfortable with the level of intimacy needed to provide these services.

You may also be asked to help prepare meals, do household chores, and participate in leisure activities, while some clients may require a different kind of support.

You may also have to remind our client to take their medications or bathe, help arrange their social activities, assist them with their paperwork, and make phone calls on their behalf.

As always, it's important to have a good understanding of what needs to be done and provide service in a gentle and respectful manner.

Many of our direct support workers learned about the job through family members and friends, and there's a big chance that you also know people who want to work in this field.

Help us find more DSPs by referring your family and friends to us.

Our DSPs come from all walks of life including people who worked as computer operators, cab drivers, healthcare workers, retail clerks, librarians, security guards, bankers, and bakers while others start right out of college or are just starting to work again.

What our DSPs have in common are their genuine passion to help others and desire to work in a job that they love because they find meaning in the work that we do.
