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

"As I was laying there, I was just thinking to myself, 'I can do it.'" Tamiah Brevard-Rodriguez had a plan leading up to her April 24 due date. Coined "Operation Dissertation Before Baby," the plan included completing her dissertation for her doctorate at Rutgers Graduate School of Education, then having her baby in time to celebrate graduation and the summer with her family. In that order. But it didn't happen that way. On March 25, the morning of her dissertation, she went into labor. She wound up giving birth to Enzo in the car on the way to the hospital. After doctors checked them out, she took a nap, ate a meal and was ready to rock her defense presentation. Brevard-Rodriguez logged onto her laptop from her hospital bed and gave her presentation. And then when it was over, she took down her Rutgers background on Zoom, revealing the hospital. "Everyone was in complete shock," she says. Brevard-Rodriguez's graduation ceremony is this Sunday – Mother's Day. Read more: https://cnn.it/3Wy3lKJ
