I'm looking for volunteers to complete an online survey for my dissertation research on direct support professional characteristics and work experience

To qualify for the study you must:

• Currently work as a direct support professional with at least one individual with an intellectual and/or developmental disability
  • The support provided can be residential, vocational, or any other work that assists individuals in their community
  • The direct support provided cannot be to a relative or family member

The first 50 people to complete the survey will receive a $10.00 gift card. All participants will be put into a drawing for a $50.00 gift card.

Your participation will also contribute to the general knowledge about direct support professionals to enhance the work experience in efforts to retain workers and provide quality care to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Contact Angela Klemm (aklemm@email.fielding.edu) for more information and if you are interested in being part of the study.

Thank you!
