During DSP Recognition Week (September 7–13), we pause to honor these incredible professionals who show up with compassion, patience, and purpose.
DSPs are the backbone of disability services, yet their profession often goes unrecognized. This week is about more than celebration—it’s about shining a light on their role and advocating for the support, pay, and recognition they deserve.
Here’s how you can join us:
- Share their stories. Post a message of thanks or share a story about a DSP who’s made a difference in your life or read and share our stories. Use hashtags like #DSPRW25 and #FiveStarFriday to spread the word.
- Send a thank you. A quick message—via email, text, or handwritten note—can mean the world.
- Advocate. Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed on how you can support policy changes that uplift DSPs.
- Give in their honor. Want to make a lasting impact? Make a donation to support our mission and honor the DSPs who give so much of themselves every day.
However you choose to celebrate this week, know that your support helps shine a light on a profession that deserves recognition not just during DSP Recognition Week, but all year long.
