Logo for 2025 DSP Recognition Week

Direct Support Professional Recognition Week is an annual week of nationwide celebrations in which we all honor the professionals who make up the foundation of supports for people with disabilities. DSP Recognition Week 2025 is taking place September 7-13.

We’ve asked organizations and individuals to use the hashtag #DSPRW2025 and tell us about their events honoring DSPs. Below is just a sample of these amazing celebrations. Search the hashtag on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to view them all!
