Direct Support Professional
CurrentI worked in the homes of mentally handicapped clients taking care of any of their needs. For instance, I passed medications, helped give showers, cooked meals, cleaned and directed all clients to learn how to do these things for themselves by redirecting clients. I also helped clients learn how to handle their money, purchase items, interact with others in society and accomplish everything for themselves. I also restrained clients when they were hurting themselves, others or destroying property.
