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.Accessibility Statement
