May's DSP of the Month is Donna Fitzpatrick! 🌟 Donna has been a DSP for 37 years. She started in the field as a respite provider and her first client was the one that got her really interested in DSP work. She says the thing she loves most about being a DSP is the ability to truly center everything around her clients' needs, goals, and comfort. She feels that having the freedom to spend meaningful time with each person allows her to build genuine relationships with them. Thank you, Donna, for everything you do! 💙 🔗 Go to the Linktree in our bio to read more about Donna and other DSP Spotlights! #CommittedToInclusion #DSPSpotlight
