DSPs create joy, provide safety, and enrich the lives of the people they support. We are grateful to them all. Happy DSP Recognition Week. 🎉 #DSPRW2024
This week, we're celebrating the superheroes of the disability community—direct support professionals (DSPs)! DSPs wear more hats than we can count. They're personal assistants, nurses, chefs, therapists, teachers, job coaches, chauffeurs, and so much more. DSPs are there through it all, offering helping hands, listening ears, and often, extended family to people with disabilities. They help millions live their best lives in communities across the country. They're not just caregivers; they are lifelines and the backbone of our country’s support system. Their work is complex, demanding, and essential, yet too often goes unrecognized. Let’s change that, together. To all DSPs: We celebrate you today and every day, and we will never stop fighting for you. Swipe to see DSPs in action with our chapters nationwide. Share this post to educate others about their critical role and tell us in the comments if a DSP has impacted your life! #DSPRecognitionWeek #DirectSupportProfessionals 📸credit: A New Leaf Inc.
