DSPs help people with physical and/or intellectual disabilities to access services they need to thrive in the community. The roles and responsibilities of DSPs are varied. On any given day, they can solve problems, administer medication, provide treatment, teach new skills, and even perform behavioral assessments and crisis interventions. Most importantly, they are caretakers, support systems, and friends
