“DSP Week is a great time for us to pause and thank our front-line team members who care for our individuals 24 hours per day, 365 days per year,” said Lashley. “Caregiver’s DSPs are the most compassionate, hardest working people you will ever meet, and we are grateful for everything they do to help our individuals live the best, most independent lives possible.”

The proclamation notes that “…communities are strengthened and enriched by the inclusion of all members of society, including people with disabilities.”
