DSP Recognition Week!

CPN is supporting this week because we recognize that DSP's are pivotal for so many people with IDD.  It is the DSP who helps each person achieve their goals every day, stay healthy, find work, make friends and participate in their local communities.  Without our DSP workforce, many people with disabilities would face isolation and segregation.  Help us spread the word about how much we appreciate the DSPs and remind them that their work is important!
