All week we celebrated out Direct Support Professionals. Thank you Kim Vassar for so beautifully articulating their value and commitment!

What is a Direct Support Professional? From the title alone, it may not seem clear, but unpack it, and you'll understand why it's so important to recognize and celebrate the men and women who dedicate their careers to supporting people with disabilities. Direct Support Professionals are more than just caregivers – they are mentors, advocates, and champions of independence. They work tirelessly to ensure individuals with disabilities have the support they need to live fulfilling, empowered lives. Whether it’s providing daily assistance, fostering community inclusion, or helping someone achieve their personal goals, DSPs go beyond tasks – they build relationships, create trust, and enable those they serve to thrive. Despite their crucial role, DSPs are often under-recognized and underpaid. As we celebrate #DirectSupportProfessionalsWeek, let’s raise awareness about the true impact of their work, advocate for better compensation, and invest in their professional development. Without them, many of the programs that promote independence and dignity for people with disabilities wouldn’t be possible. Let’s take a moment to appreciate and uplift the DSPs who stand alongside the individuals we serve every day. These unsung heroes deserve our recognition and support now more than ever. #DSPs #DirectSupportProfessionals #InclusionMatters #DisabilityAdvocacy #arcbroward Arc Broward
