What does it take to hire your first direct support professional? In this episode of The Support Files, Anna shares what she looks for in a DSP, how she explains the responsibilities of the job, and why finding the right fit matters when someone is supporting your everyday life.
Anna and Ari also talk about what makes self-directed support different: the person receiving support helps choose, train, and guide their staff. Ari shares the college student perspective on working as a DSP, what they’ve learned on the job, and why this work can have a lasting impact on both people.
