A planned DSP appreciation reception will be held on Wednesday, September 14, from 2:00-5:00 p.m. in the ROC cafeteria.

Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are employees serving as direct care workers, in-home support workers, personal assistants and attendants to ensure that people with disabilities are able to live more independently and in community settings.

The appreciation event is an opportunity for ROC and the entire community to honor the local direct support workforce and the tremendous difference they make each day in the lives of those they serve.
