COVID-19 DSP Survey
The Institute on Community Integration University of Minnesota conducted a Direct Support Professional (DSP) COVID-19 survey in April. They are doing a six-month and eventually, a 12-month follow-up survey. Here are the results from the first survey where the voices of nearly 10,000 DSPs from across the country were heard. DSPs face a high risk of infection during the coronavirus pandemic. They also face financial hardship, exhaustion, and challenges in supporting their families. The Institute on Community Integration at the University of Minnesota, in partnership with the National Alliance of Direct Support Professionals, is conducting a survey on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on DSPs.
