A new survey highlighted the challenges facing America’s direct support workforce, revealing a care system in crisis due to ongoing recruitment and retention issues.
Direct support professionals (DSPs) play a crucial role in assisting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They help these individuals develop the skills needed to live and thrive in both home and community settings. Their services can vary widely, from aiding with personal daily activities to fostering meaningful relationships and supporting career planning.
For the fifth consecutive year, ANCOR has conducted a survey to assess the workforce crisis’s impact on service providers and the individuals they support. Approximately 500 providers from 47 states and the District of Columbia participated in the 2024 survey.
