Being a Direct Support Professional (DSP) is not just about tasks; it's about building trust and fostering independence. Every day offers new challenges and rewards; and the impact you make is profound. If you're compassionate, patient and ready to make a difference in someone's life, a career as a DSP might be your perfect fit!
The DSP is responsible for providing individualized direct support to people with intellectual or developmental disabilities (idd). This is achieved by assisting people who receive services from Pearl Buck Center to reach their person-centered goals for attendant care, community employment, day support activities, employment path, small group supported employment and supported living while maintaining a safe and encouraging environment.
As a DSP your tasks for the day may include providing disability related supports to a person with idd to: attend a community event; be successful at work; prepare a healthy meal; complete their morning routine - brushing teeth, getting dressed; learn a new skill that will help them meet one of their goals; communicate with others; and much more.
