Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are the unsung heroes in the lives of individuals with disabilities. They are the heart of daily support and engagement — helping people participate in ordinary moments like getting to church, going to a football game, or running errands — often without seeking the spotlight themselves. Their work is deeply rooted in community, built through caring connections, and driven by compassion and respect.

That’s why DSP Recognition Week, September 7-13, 2025, is such an essential time. It’s our moment to recognize and applaud the invaluable contributions DSPs make every day.

If you’re looking for a rewarding career where you can make a difference in people’s lives, consider becoming a DSP. To learn more, visit www.futures-unlimited.org/careers.
