Initiative Launched to Recognize Direct Support Professionals: Parent to Parent of NYS and the Direct Support Professional Alliance of NYS (DSPANYS) are launching an initiative called the Difference Makers. The goal of this is to recognize direct support professionals who have made a difference for a family or for a person with a disability or special health care need. You may know direct support professionals by different titles, but they are the people who offer hands-on support and care to a family and to a person with special health care needs or a disabling condition. For more information or to recognize someone who has provided hands-on support click here PDF
