Everyone deserves to lead a meaningful, productive, everyday life. Direct support professionals are the key to enabling individuals living with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities to live successfully in their communities.
The work of direct support professionals is tireless and heroic.
Direct support professionals — including direct care workers, personal attendants, in-home support workers, and paraprofessionals — are tasked with providing care to Pennsylvanians with disabilities also supporting them to be connected within their communities. They continually put the needs of individuals with disabilities ahead of their own and, during times like the pandemic, risk of their own safety.
During Pennsylvania Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week, we recognize and commend those working to ensure Pennsylvania’s most vulnerable populations receive the services and supports and the quality of life they deserve.
Thank you, direct support professionals! Without you, Pennsylvanians with disabilities would not be able to stay healthy, safe, and participate and thrive within their own communities.
