The goal of OPWDD’s Workforce
Transformation
 
agenda is to help
staff transform from caregivers to
support professionals through a
Workforce Development Program.
Staff are the cornerstone of operations. They have a great impact
upon the quality of life for the people they support.
Staff are faced with ethical challenges daily.
Staff often work independent of direct supervision and therefore
must exercise good judgment.
A code of ethics can serve as a tool for direction and support.
Knowing how to resolve ethical dilemmas in the workplace can
increase your decision-making effectiveness while keeping you and
your organization on the right side of the law 
and is just the right
thing to do

While supporting people as they direct the course of his or her
own life, DSP’s will face ethical decisions. They may feel
conflicted when the person has set goals for themselves then
make choices and decisions that are not in line with those
goals.

The role of the DSP moved from the system having total control
over the person to handing control over to them
 
Rather than caregivers we became teachers, mentors and
supporters
 
As the gentlemen on the right is pointing out, the relationship
between the person and the DSP has evolved into a
partnership and moved away from the caregiver role
Person Centered Language
 
What is it?
Why it is important?
