Direct Support Professional

What is a Direct Support Professional?

A Direct Support Professional (DSP) is someone who works directly with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities. A DSP's aim is to assist people in realizing their full potential. They help people become integrated and engaged in their community. It is about helping them learn how to do things for themselves.

Thousands of New Yorkers with developmental disabilities rely on DSPs every day for help with life's essential activities. These include getting out of bed, getting dressed, going to the bathroom, finding a job, getting to work, etc. DSPs teach people how to do things for themselves and how to live independently. Not only do you help people to reach their full potential, you have fun while doing so. You will be going to concerts, out to restaurants, movies, community events, and much more!!
