Are you an IRIS participant, or do you know someone who is, that would like to hire their Direct Support Professionals (DSPs)?

 

Disability Service Provider Network (DSPN) is excited to introduce the Building Independence Project!

 

Building Independence is a workshop series designed to empower IRIS participants with the skills and confidence needed to hire their own DSPs.

 

This interactive training will:

 

• Highlight the advantages and responsibilities of self-directed supports along with identifying the key tasks in managing those supports.

• Break down the hiring process into manageable steps, from creating a job advertisement to extending a job offer.

• Assist participants in recognizing the skills, experience, and essential qualities they want in a DSP.

• Provide guidance for managing, maintaining, and retaining high-quality DSPs over the long term.

​

The Building Independence training consists of four 2-hour sessions and is conducted online, making it convenient for IRIS participants across Wisconsin to participate.
