Developmental Support Workers (DSWs): Empowering Individuals with Disabilities
We are dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities by providing exceptional support through our Developmental Support Workers (DSWs). Our team works closely with families and organizations to ensure personalized, effective care that promotes personal growth, independence, and well-being.
A Collaborative Approach to Support
Our DSWs practice joint collaborations with families and organizations so that we can provide everyone with the appropriate care in a supportive and non-discriminatory way. Collaboration enables synergy, which will improve the quality of care and bring a sense of community whether we are in residential or community settings.
Personalized Care and Goal Setting
We know that everyone’s path is different. Our DSWs will take the time to work with families and organizations to set personalized goals that are in line with the individual’s capabilities and aspirations.
