The Role of Direct Support Professionals (DSP)
Personalized Support and Guidance
At the heart of our Supported Employment services are our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). These dedicated team members work closely with individuals to provide personalized support, from job training and skill development to on-the-job assistance. Our DSPs ensure that each person receives the guidance they need to succeed in their role, while also fostering independence and self-confidence.
Ongoing Job Coaching and Advocacy
Our direct support professionals offer more than just job placement assistance—they provide ongoing job coaching to ensure long-term success. Whether it’s helping individuals adapt to their new work environment, solving challenges that arise on the job, or advocating for workplace accommodations, our DSPs are committed to supporting each individual in achieving their employment goals.
