Exciting news! Our agency is participating in DSP+, a new incentive program for Direct Support Professionals (DSP's) to reward you for the critical role you play in caring for vulnerable Oklahomans.

What is DSP?

A Direct Support Professional (DSP) provides care for aging Oklahomans or people with developmental disabilities. This job helps the people DSPs support face different challenges, learn new things, build greater independence, grow through good and bad days and celebrate successes on their journey to creating lives they’re excited to live.

Who do DSPs serve?

DSPs play an essential role in supporting people with developmental disabilities and aging Oklahomans, helping them live their best lives at home, work and in the community.

What do DSPs do?

No task is too small for a DSP. From assisting with personal care like hygiene and meal prep to coaching a client on building new skills and relationships, DSPs help people navigate their daily lives and have fun in the process.

What qualities make a good DSP?

• Flexibility
