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 group of wheelchair users blocks a city bus in the middle of a street during a protest, positioned directly in front of and beside the bus to prevent it from moving. One woman in the foreground holds a large handwritten sign reading Taxation Without Transportation with a wheelchair symbol on it, while several other protesters sit nearby in a line facing the bus and oncoming traffic. Parked and passing cars line the street in the background, with storefronts visible further back.
