Abstract:
The vacancy rate associated with Direct Support Professional positions within the intellectual disability service system was examined. Based on an increasing number of persons receiving residential services and a similarly increasing number of Direct Support Professionals, it was suggested that an equilibrium between supply and demand had been reached. It was acknowledged that this “equilibrium” clearly does not meet the satisfaction of people working in and supported by the field. A possible explanation was offered.
