Alliance Action Alert: Tell Congress to Support DSPs! (mailchi.mp)
Eric is a person in services who lives with an HHP in Aurora. Eric’s mom lives in Pueblo, and the long distance makes it tough for them to see each other as much as they’d like. Support Inc’s very own Jordan Kurtz volunteered to drive Eric down for a day trip before the holidays, and Eric and his mom were able to spend some quality time together before the holidays. Not to mention Eric and Jordan got to know one another on the way to and from! With the dedication of staff like Jordan, there is now a plan in place for Eric to be able to visit Pueblo once a month to see his Mom. Thanks Jordan!
We continue to exercise caution when deploying DSPs to community settings, and by this point, many sessions are being enjoyed in client homes.
The 4 goals we have for these sessions (aside from person-specific goals) include the following:
1. Mitigating Boredom
2. Getting Enough Physical Activity
3. Maintaining Social Connections
4. Meeting Physical/Tangible Needs
With this, we have our guidelines for DSP visits. For further questions, please contact Meghan at Meghan.steineker@supportinc.com
