Nominate A Direct Support Professional During DSP Recognition Week

Help us celebrate those people who provide care, encouragement, independence, and dignity to people with disabilities during Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week, September 13-19.

We've teamed up with Trillium Services to honor the special people who help empower others to live meaningful lives. Do you know someone who makes a difference by helping others?

Direct Support Professionals are people who work alongside people who have disabilities. They encourage independent living and skill-building. In some cases, they provide transportation and accompany clients to work, doctor appointments, or social events.

The difference between a DSP worker and a caregiver is that Direct Support Professionals work alongside a client, rather than for a client. This helps clients learn self-sufficiency and life skills.

Direct Support Professional Recognition Week takes place this September 13-19. Nominate a DSP worker to be recognized in the form below. We'll be recognizing professionals on the air September 13-19. Those selected will also receive a gift basket from supporting local businesses.
