The Arc of Mississippi, in partnership with the Mississippi Council on Developmental Disabilities, and the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals, announce a national credentialing opportunity for 50 Mississippi Direct Support Professionals (DSPs).
The purpose of the opportunity is to demonstrate the value of credentialed, highly trained DSPs to providers, policy makers, and people using supports.
Enrollment and credentialing fees are covered by this project, but dedication and hard work are expected. The attainment of DSP-I, DSP-II and/or DSP-III depends upon the pace and discipline of the Direct Support Professional. This is a one-year project and will conclude September 30th, 2021.
We invite you to attend 1 of 2 ZOOM meetings for further information and an explanation of the process. There is no obligation required to attend a meeting and providers are encouraged to attend. If you are not familiar with how to attend ZOOM meetings you are encouraged to call in advance of the meeting you plan to attend and we will assist you.
The Arc of Mississippi is a private, non-profit organization that for over 60 years has promoted the dignity, respect, and quality of life for people who use supports in their daily life. For more information please contact Lisa Burck, lisa@arcms.org .
