2015 Direct Support Professionals Week, September 13 - 19

Join InterHab next week in recognizing the dedication and accomplishments of outstanding Direct Support Professionals and expressing our appreciation for their vital contribution to communities across Kansas.

Direct Support Professional (DSP) is a nationally recognized position whose objective, according to Volunteers of America, is “to support developmentally disabled individuals in their development of basic living and social skills with the primary goal of integrating them into the community to the best of their ability.” These supports include personal care, daily living, and realization of personal goals, medical assistance and community inclusion.

This week Gov. Brownback issued a proclamation by InterHab's request urging all Kansans to observe Direct Support Professionals Appreciation Week, Sept. 13 - 19.

InterHab urges individuals and groups in Kansas to show your thanks next week for all the challenging work DSPs do, day in and day out.
