A resolution designating the week beginning September 7, 2025, as "National Direct Support Professionals Week".

National Direct Support Professionals Week designates the week beginning September 7, 2025 to honor direct care workers who provide long-term support and services to people with disabilities. The resolution names direct support professionals, personal assistants, personal attendants, in-home support workers, and paraprofessionals as essential to keeping people with disabilities included in home, work, and community life, and it highlights their work on personal care, medication management, employment supports, transportation, and other daily activities. It also notes a nationwide staffing shortage worsened by COVID-19 and asks the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to consider creating a separate Standard Occupational Classification code for these workers to improve federal data on the occupation.
