Rock County Opportunities in Luverne and the Minnesota Organization for Habilitation and Rehabilitation (MOHR) are supporting Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week this week, Sept. 13 to 19.
The goal is to recognize the accomplishments and contributions made by direct support professionals to the lives of people with disabilities.
“Direct support professionals are at the core of our mission, helping people with disabilities to live the lives that they choose,” said MOHR President Julie Johnson. “Their work is valued, needed and appreciated.”
RCO employs six direct support professionals to serve 31 individuals in and around Rock County.
“DSPs are the caring people who creatively provide valuable services to individuals who otherwise might not have the same opportunities in life as others in our community,” said RCO director Elizabeth Schear.
“I am truly grateful for the dedication and top-notch care our professionals provide at RCO.”
With more than 100 disability service providers across the state, MOHR’s mission is to promote and strengthen employment and life engagement opportunities as chosen by persons with disabilities.
