This year Governor Mike Pence recognized the importance of Direct Support Professionals (DSP) in Indiana through his signing of a proclamation declaring September 7-14 Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week. DSPs are the primary providers of supports and services for thousands of individuals throughout Indiana. They provide essential support to help keep Hoosiers with disabilities connected to their families and communities, as well as keep them healthy and safe. DSPs are crucial to the quality care and services for the individuals they support.
