Do you know someone who is making a difference in the field of Direct Support? Then they should be nominated to win an award from DSPAT and DMRS More…

Direct Support Professionals Association of Tennessee

We are pleased to welcome you our new members and supporters to DSPAT. This is a new and exciting year for DSP’s and our mission is to continue to set new goals for our association and to celebrate new accomplishment as we strive to implement a system of networking nationally with multiple stake holders to provide a much better way to communicate with Direct Support Professionals.

We want to encourage our DSPs to continue to provide us with vital information that will assist us with this on going effort. We as DSPs are in the people business and in order to provide care and support to someone with special needs we must learn how to approach, encourage and inspire people on the day to day basis to stay focused and upbeat as we work towards our primary goal of developing the best DSP workforce possible.

It is important for you to know that DSPAT is your circle of support and your vehicle to opening doors that until this point was impossible for DSPs to walk through. It is your responsibility to help us move this association forward by assisting us and providing much needed input. With your help we can build our future and at the same time support the future of many others whom we truly care about. If you want to know more about DSPAT continue to search other areas on the website.

From the officers and staff of DSPAT we hope that the year of 2008 is one of the best years in the history of our industry and the great State of Tennessee.

Sincerely,

B. Earl Foxx Jr.
Executive Director
Direct Support Professionals Association of Tennessee
