Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) work with individuals who have autism or other developmental disabilities. DSPs assist individuals to become more integrated in their communities by maximizing the person’s strengths, interests, and abilities. DSPs encourage and support the individual to live independent and productive lives and to direct their own activities, including contributing to the community. Support occurs in a variety of settings and may include providing personal care, assistance with daily living activities, teaching/developing skills, advocating with the individual, assisting in communication and self expression, and ultimately supporting the individual in meeting his or her own goals.
