Hard to believe that it was already a few months ago that we were in Santa Fe, New Mexico, celebrating our 10 Dungarvin DSPs, recognized as ANCOR DSP standouts in our field. Today, we are proud to feature the ANCOR DSP of the Year for the state of North Carolina, Kelley McGuire! Kelley has been with our Dungarvin-ACI team for over 10 years, and we are so happy she has been recognized for her stellar work in this industry. Watch the video to get to know more about this amazing person. Congrats Kelly and thank you from all of your friends at Dungarvin. #dungarvin #dungarvinway #dungarvincareers #northcarolina

Proud of our hometown’s own Gus Walz for taking center stage supporting his dad this week. Regardless of politics, everyone deserves opportunities to live their best lives, in and out of the spotlight. #dungarvin #dungarvinway #dungarvincareers #timwalz #disabilityscoop

We think Dungarvin Connecticut's Merritt Day Program staff are amazing at finding different types of outings to take the individuals on -- last Thursday was a perfect example! Day Program participants had an amazing time at the Guided by Goats Farm, located at Bethany Mountains Cheshire Connecticut. Program Director Willie Mobley spoke to DSP Davina Dolphy, who stated, "The individuals had a great time having a chance to walk the goats, brush their hair, feed them, and the farm owners really loved us being there." Sean, a person supported, shared, "I normally have a fear of animals, but after a while I really became comfortable with the goats, even fed them. I really enjoyed being there!" The individuals did such a good job that the farm owners invited them back to volunteer. Future tasks include raking, organizing hay, putting out water and other farm work as needed. What a fun afternoon! #dungarvin #dungarvinway #dungarvincareers #connecticut

Congratulations to ANCOR DSP of the Year nominee for the state of Indiana, Michael Harding! Michael is a DSP who always goes out of his way to ensure that the individuals with whom he works are treated as more than just the sum of their diagnoses or disabilities. Michael always treats others as people first, and he ensures that his individuals' needs are met. Michael met the person he supported in 2012 when they were both enrolled at college. Their first meeting included Michael accidentally rolling over Mike’s foot with his wheelchair -- but that's how the two got to talking! "Mike learned that he was having trouble with his support staff, so he applied to be his DSP," shared his nominator, Annmarie Fanning. "Building on their relationship, Mike wanted to provide more support to his new friend. He applied on a Saturday and was hired the next Monday, after the supervisor heard about everything Mike had already done for him." Initially, Michael let him know that he was only going to be a DSP until graduation, but seven years later, he is still supporting his friend. Michael turned his friendship with Mike into a career. Thank you, Michael, for all you do! #dungarvin #dungarvincareers #dungarvincareers #indiana
