At Essential Services, September is all about celebrating the incredible work of our Direct Support Professionals (DSPs). These dedicated caregivers set the standard in quality care—supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) to live with dignity, independence, and joy.
DSP of the Month Program
This year, we launched our DSP of the Month program to shine a light on the amazing people who go above and beyond. Each month, we recognize a DSP who demonstrates compassion, reliability, and dedication—whether they’re working one-on-one in the home or helping clients stay active in the community.
