Moreover, DSPs collaborate with individuals and other stakeholders to develop and implement individualized support plans that build upon individual strengths and capabilities. They monitor and address health concerns, ensure optimal well-being, and safeguard individuals from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Overall, DSPs contribute to creating a supportive and empowering environment where individuals with disabilities can thrive and lead fulfilling, autonomous lives.
