Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week (Sept 10-16, 2023) honors the dedication of DSPs—caregivers who support individuals with disabilities in daily tasks, skill development, and community engagement. Their role goes beyond caregiving, fostering independence and enriching lives. Established by Congress in 2008, this week highlights their invaluable contributions. Ways to show appreciation include personal tokens, community engagement, advocacy, and creative activities. FieldWorker supports DSPs by providing tools to enhance their work. Let’s celebrate and recognize these unsung heroes for their compassion and dedication.
