Rainbow of Challenges and Prescott/Nevada County Special Services will observe the week with a wide variety of activities and gifts to show support to all area DSPs.

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.

A planned DSP appreciation reception will be held on Wednesday, September 11, from 2:00-5:00 p.m. in the ROC cafeteria. Hope Mayor Don Still and other city representatives recently signed an official proclamation in support of area DSPs and will read it during the reception.

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.
