Moreover, DSP Subs 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, DSP Subs contribute to creating a supportive and empowering environment where individuals with disabilities can thrive and lead fulfilling, autonomous lives. Through their commitment to advocacy, holistic care, and ethical practice, they make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they support.
