Three photos sit above bold text on a navy blue background. In the first photo, several people wearing hairnets and blue gloves work together at a bakery station, shaping and placing cookie dough on trays. In the second, two people wearing helmets and sunglasses ride together in a small black convertible cart, parked outdoors near a grassy lot with trees and parked vehicles in the background. In the third, a woman with curly hair smiles gently while leaning close to another woman with short purple hair seated in a wheelchair, mouth open mid-expression, indoors. Below the photos, bold green text reads What Is A, followed by white text reading Direct Support Professional. In the bottom left corner is a white outline icon of two hands cupped around a heart.

What is a Direct Support Professional?

The people supporting those with disabilities.
A man in a navy suit sits at a table signing a document while smiling up at a man in a gray suit holding up a clipboard with the signed paperwork. They're surrounded by a large group of cheering, applauding adults and several young children in front of a colorful classroom-themed banner with letters, numbers, and an American flag.
