Abstract
Abstract
To fulfill the Purchase College Senior Capstone Project, this paper is a supplement to my live
video interviews. I describe my job as a Direct Support Professional, and the interest I took in
how the individuals I worked with grew up and how their needs were going to be met in the
future. I discuss my personal experience working with this population, and how it has affected
me personally. I discuss my concerns for their being high quality programs and services along
with the funding to meet the demanding and expensive needs of these individuals. I discuss my
deep concern for the future and safety of these special people as they age and might not have
parents to advocate for them.
