- Complete required documentation accurately and on time.
- Most importantly, be a dependable, encouraging presence who treats every consumer with dignity, respect, and kindness.

Make a Difference, One Person at a Time
Being a DSP is about more than providing assistance. It’s about helping a consumer have more choices, more independence, and more opportunities to be part of their community.
