5 Reasons To Be A Direct Support Professional
#1.
Go to work where individuals are excited to see you & are glad you’re there - - because you make a REAL difference in their lives.
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities like having fun, doing things, going places and they like their staff for helping them live life! Everyone enjoys getting out and about in the community attending Reds/Dragons games, going to the Zoo and Kings Island. Sound like a good job to you?

Make a difference in the lives of others and get paid for it at the same time - - sound good to you? Whether it’s grocery shopping, doing laundry, or working on a puzzle, DSPs support lives and develop abilities. For example, imagine the joy when an individual masters the ability to manage their own money! The experience is priceless for the DSP and the individual, too. A DSPs job is to develop the abilities of the individuals they support.
