As a Direct Support Professional (DSP), your afternoon shift kicks off with a warm greeting to the people you support, where catching up on their day feels like catching up with family. The excitement unfolds as you head out for delightful excursions-whether it's a stroll through the park, a fun trip to the store, or indulging in ice cream.

What Matters Most:
To thrive as a Direct Support Professional (DSP), you'll need a mix of essential skills that will help you make an impact:
A solid understanding of supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) is crucial, along with a keen awareness of health, safety, and emergency procedures. Familiarity with personal care and daily living assistance, as well as a grasp of confidentiality and professional boundaries, ensures a respectful and person-centered environment.
Communication skills are vital; you should be able to listen actively, speak clearly, and document accurately. Building trust and positive relationships through strong interpersonal skills is also key, as is the ability to solve problems calmly and adapt to surprises. Balancing multiple tasks requires excellent time management, while effective teamwork and the capability to work independently are equally important.
Lastly, a valid driver's license and physical ability to assist with daily activities make for a well-rounded DSP who can support individuals in their journey to independence.
