Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act aims to establish a distinct occupational category for direct support professionals.
The Recognizing the Role of Direct Support Professionals Act seeks to correct inaccuracies in the Standard Occupational Classification system by establishing a separate code for direct support professionals. This change aims to recognize the critical work these professionals perform for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which differs from that of home health aides or personal care aides. The Act also seeks to better align the classification system with related systems and improve data collection on labor market shortages and turnover rates.
