The Department of Developmental Services (DDS) is collecting data from agencies that employ Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) about factors that impact the workforce. Registration is required to participate. The data collection effort will collect data, through an online survey, on vendor agencies’ direct service professionals (DSPs) for calendar year 2022. Vendor agencies who are eligible to participate in the data collection and complete the survey in its entirety will receive an $8,000 incentive after the data collection has ended. 

The survey registration and survey went live May 1, 2023. The presentation from the meeting on April 25, 2023, which provides information about registering for and completing the survey can be found here. In addition, more information can be found on the DDS DSP Workforce Data Collection webpage.
