“What I enjoy most about being a DSP is being able to wake up every day knowing I’m going to make a difference in people’s lives by teaching, being a role model, and helping with everyday occurrences.”
– Frank M.
“One of the most rewarding aspects of being a DSP is the chance to positively impact someone’s life. Building a genuine connection and watching an individual gain confidence or achieve a personal milestone emphasizes the important work DSPs do every day.”
- Jo-Ann S.
“What I enjoy most about being a DSP is getting the chance to make the world a bigger and better place for a community of individuals who are often stuck in a limited worldview. Being a DSP means being an extension of the individual you are supporting. You are their teacher, nurse, therapist, friend, job coach, and sometimes their voice, eyes, ears, hands, and mobility. You are their PERSON.”
– McKenzie C.
