Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) are the backbone of disability services—and yet the latest ANCOR State of America’s Direct Support Workforce Crisis report highlights a stark reality: turnover remains at crisis levels, job satisfaction continues to erode, and provider agencies are facing mounting operational and financial pressures.
