Direct Support Provider (DSP) jobs

DHSS logo

Skilled, compassionate care for people with disabilities.

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

Apply through any of the approved providers listed at https://dhss.delaware.gov/ddds/dsp.html.  Each provider has their own job openings so you may want to check all of them.

DAD Note:  There may be ASL DSP positions also.  DHSS also requested that we share the DSP openings through a local deaf advocacy group.

Deaf Wife and Husband Sign at Home, and Hilarious Corgi Dog Soon Understands ‘Bath,’ ‘Dinner’

You don’t need to call her when it’s “dinner,” say the word “ball,” or ask if she wants her “bone” to make this dog go nuts. Eowyn the corgi has leaped beyond the world of words and sounds, following her deaf owner, and barks for joy on seeing sign language hand signs.

Dog owner Emily Cassese, 32, was born deaf or near deafness but completely lost her hearing as she grew up. When she moved in with her husband, Derek, four years ago, she introduced a new form of communication into his life. They now navigate their marriage through the silent language of signs.

Derek, 34, an Orlando-based engineer for a packaging company, owned the fluffy, 9-year-old corgi Eowyn, with her short legs and huge ears, ever since she was a puppy and spent plenty of time training her. He says his corgi is “very intelligent” and “stubborn.”
