Florida advocates: Protect disabilities services in your community!

Right now, Florida legislators are meeting about the state budget – and together, we can ensure they increase Direct Support Professionals (DSP) wages. Because when there are not enough DSPs, people may not get the help they need.

Send a message to your lawmakers to increase funding for DSP wages and disabilities services: autismspeaks.quorum.us/campaign/FloridaDSP
