“I like to give my client options, and have her choose what she wants to do, even what she wants to drink or watch on tv.”
“I enjoy how excited the people I work with get about certain things—their favorite meal, going for a car ride, just blowing bubbles in the front yard.”
“Working as a DSP has made me more aware of my well-being. Changing things that need changing and setting realistic short- and long-term goals.”
“My DSP helps me feel good about myself. She makes me feel important, loved and well taken care of. She helps me connect with my family.”
“She likes to have fun with me and make me happy. She is fun and really enjoys helping me and others.”
“She plays games with me, helps me do chores, cook and go to community functions. She also takes me to dances at the Armory in Hannibal. These dances are for senior citizens and I love listening to the music. I also send cards to my family with the help of Laura, my DSP.”
