Our Day Program is built around engagement. DSPs actively participate, encourage individuals, adapt activities when needed, and help each person participate at their own ability level.
Strong DSPs stay calm, pay attention, take initiative, communicate with their team, accept feedback, and adjust when something isn't working. They understand that supporting independence means coaching someone through a task instead of automatically doing it for them.
If that sounds familiar, you'll understand this job.
