Direct Support Professional Recognition Week

This Direct Support Professional Recognition Week, California honors the many Direct Support Professionals providing essential caregiving services to Californias with intellectual and developmental disabilities. California is the only state that promises individuals with disabilities the services and supports they need to participate in their communities, coordinated by Regional Centers and fulfilled by service provider organizations. Direct Support Professionals deliver on this promise to more than 400,000 Californians with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families every day.
