This DSP Recognition Week, we’re celebrating Direct Support Professionals, including our NEXT for AUTISM Fellows, who make a difference every day.

DSPs wear many hats, including advocate, coach, problem-solver, communicator, and so much more. Through it all, they help people with disabilities pursue their goals, build independence, and live their lives fully.

To every DSP who supports, empowers, and cares: thank you for all that you do.
