The Intellectual Disability/Autism provider associations across Pennsylvania are partnering to gather data to advocate for COVID-19 relief funding.

To advocate for this funding, it is critical that we gather data on Direct Support Professional (DSP) Turnover and Open Position rates during the pandemic. We are asking one person per provider organization, most like the Executive or the HR Director, to take a moment to fill out this survey by Friday, August 21.
