Lead Summary
DSP Week is Sept 11-17 when those who work as direct support personnel are honored for their contributions to caring for disabled and vulnerable children and adults. At Rock County Opportunities in Luverne, the organization honors a team of 10 DSP workers.
“The DSP’s at RCO are awesome,” said RCO administrative director Adria Benson. “They work hard to provide a safe and welcoming environment to all the individuals that RCO supports by being person-centered and meeting everyone at their level.” She said the local DSP staff provide a variety of employment and enrichment services, both in-house and in the community, as well as personal care as needed. “We would not be able to survive without them,” Benson said.
