Description

Through Supported Independent Living, Direct Support Professionals come alongside adults who experience disability and live independently in the community as they work towards and achieve their dreams. SIL DSPs provide person directed one-on-one supports to adults who experience a variety of different circumstances including low income, mental health, and addictions. The SIL DSP functions as a mentor, advocate, coach, and cheerleader, equipping the persons supported with the skills and confidence needed to engage in their community, and thrive.

Direct Support Professional employees build communities that value the contributions of people who experience developmental disabilities. They assist with activities of daily living, working collaboratively with families, advocates, friends, and community partners in order to promote full citizenship and enhance relationships. Recognizing people’s right to self-determination, and valuing their unique gifts while encouraging continuous growth and development is only a part of what makes this a rewarding career.
