Our direct support professionals, or DSPs, perform extremely important work while engaging directly with the individuals we serve. Let’s take a look at what a DSP is, what their job is like, and the various benefits we offer.

Providing Direct Support

When you become a DSP at RISE Services, Inc. Utah, you are providing simple, yet meaningful support to individuals who live with developmental disabilities.

Working In A Variety of Areas

The tasks of a DSP are many and also vary widely. If you are working in our after-school or summer programs, you will be giving children the opportunity to enjoy fun activities that support skill development and behavior assistance in a safe environment. Within our residential or group homes, you may be assisting individuals with tasks such as daily hygiene, meal prep, grocery shopping, or transportation to work and social activities. We also offer support to the families of those individuals living with a disability through our supported living design.
