FROM THE ARCHIVES... During September, we celebrate National Direct Support Professional Recognition Week. This year, we wanted to pay homage to the Direct Support Professionals of the past. We found these photos of DSPs in the 1950s and 60s in The Arc New York Archives. Although the photos are nearly 70 years old, they echo the compassion, dedication and kindness direct support staff demonstrate today, and their profound influence on people with I/DD.
