AI Summary

This resolution formally recognizes the week of September 7-13, 2025, as Direct Support Professional (DSP) Recognition Week in California, highlighting the critical role of DSPs who provide essential services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The resolution emphasizes that California is unique in its Lanterman Act, which guarantees services and supports for people with IDD, and acknowledges that the regional center system will serve over 450,000 Californians with IDD in the coming year. The Assembly declares its commitment to honoring DSPs, who are predominantly women and people of color, for their work in helping individuals with IDD live safely, participate in their communities, and achieve independence. The resolution specifically praises DSPs for delivering culturally responsive services, promoting inclusion, and creating opportunities for those with IDD, and it commits to uplifting the direct support workforce and recognizing their valuable contributions to the state. As a final procedural step, the resolution instructs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of the resolution to the author for further distribution.
