Use our advocacy tool to tell your members of Congress that direct support professionals need a standard occupational classification!

'The data provided by an SOC would be particularly helpful in “strengthening and professionalizing the DSP workforce,” according to ANCOR, an organization that advocates for long-term services and supports providers helping individuals with disabilities.'

'...for too long, care workers’ paychecks have not reflected the value of their demanding and important work.  In fact, care workers are among the lowest paid workers in the country.'

🤩Thank you #USSenate for unanimously passing legislation that creates a standard occupational class (SOC) for DSPs! This bipartisan bill heads to the #USHouse , & we are so excited. A SOC code will help us study & share what our incredible #DSPs do. #DSPCrisis Starling
