Celebrate Direct Support Professionals!

Did you know that the week of September 13ᵗʰ through the 18ᵗʰ is DSP Recognition Week?

This special week honors the hard work, heart and dedication of Direct Support Professionals who support individuals with disabilities to live full, independent lives in their communities. At The Arc Eastern Connecticut, we love our Direct Support Professionals.

Here are some ways you can celebrate your DSPs:

• Share on Social Media — Use the official hashtag #DSPRW2026 to post stories, photos, or thank you messages all next week.

• Show Appreciation to your DSP by making a hand-made thank you card.

• Share a favorite memory or success story that highlights their impact.
