Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can't always express themselves in ways that are easy to understand. Being on-time is important both for coworkers and for the individuals we support. For most people (whether you have a disability or not!), DSPs are the frontline of support for individuals, and often they are able to tell when something isn't quite right. Even family members or doctors might not be able to notice when something is off, so it's important that DSPs are keyed into what is normal and abnormal for the people they support.
