The support needs of people with disabilities are highly individualized. As a result, what a DSP does day-to-day varies based on the unique needs of the client.

In some roles, DSPs teach people with disabilities how to do things independently. In others, they complete tasks the individual cannot complete on their own.

• Assist with daily living tasks such as bathing, dressing, and grooming

• Prepare and serve meals
• Assist with housekeeping and laundry tasks

• Assist with community integration and participation in recreational activities
• Document daily progress and behaviors of individuals
