During Direct Support Professional Recognition Week, we are honored to recognize our extremely talented staff of Direct Support Professionals and Relief Staff who enrich the lives of the people we support – every day. They work across our programs, in our Residential Homes, Creative Living Options, Day Habilitation and Vocational Programs. Not only do they build close relationships with individuals as they provide essential supports, they connect individuals with the community and all that it has to offer.
The National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals (NADSP) fittingly describes the job of a Direct Support Professional. “Their work is complex and goes well beyond caregiving, requiring skills including independent problem solving, decision making, behavioral assessment and prevention, medication administration, health and allied health treatment, teaching new skills, crisis prevention and intervention and more.”
At TILL, we appreciate the effort and commitment our direct support staff puts into their jobs every single day. Thank you for all you do!
