WE ARE HIRING!

The primary role of a DSP is to provide support. This is different from care giving or providing in-home health care. A caregiver or home health aide will do things for their clients, such as picking out and purchasing groceries. In contrast, a DSP will work with the people they’re supporting to help them do things on their own, like choosing their own groceries and paying the cashier. DSPs teach people with disabilities how to do things independently, whereas caregivers perform tasks for them.
