Advocacy Alert: Ability Beyond loves our #DSP’s and believes that the Direct Support Professional role NEEDS to be given a SOC (Standard Occupational Code) and recognized by the Department of Labor. Please consider adding your comments to the public record today about why federal policymakers should recognize the important role that DSPs play in #healthcare. https://bit.ly/4de65Ct
