Direct Support Professionals are a critical aspect to the lives of our loved ones living with Prader-Willi syndrome. They provide more than day-to-day supervision, they ensure dignity, safety, independence, and opportunity for those they support. From carefully managing food security, to navigating challenging behaviors, to offering encouragement and joy in daily activities, DSPs make an extraordinary difference every single day.

This week our CEO, Stacy Ward, sat down with three DSPs from the community to discuss what it is like working with individuals with PWS, how these individuals affect their lives, advice they have for DSPs coming into the community, and more. DSP Week comes every September, but we encourage our families to celebrate and appreciate their DSPs throughout the year. Thank you, DSPs!
