DSP Training Program for Gracious Services Enrolled Families
Open Only to Gracious Services Enrolled Families
Caring For Your Family Member with IDD Requires Love, Patience and Commitment
The family members of adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities often play a critical role in the daily lives of their loved ones. Besides patience and love, one or more family members may assist with feeding, bathing, recreation, education, socializing, transportation and more.
Get Paid for Your Full-Time Care Giving and Alleviate Financial Stress in Your Household
Often the level of care required for IDD family members can be time consuming, reaching the equivalent of a full time job and placing stress on family dynamics and budgets. The good news is that the family member can be trained as a Direct Support Professional (DSP) and actually get paid for what they already provide their family member with!
