About The Position

Sam is a 29-year-old gentleman diagnosed with autism, living with his father. He is nonverbal but communicates using hand gestures, minimal ASL signs, and head nodding, and may guide staff by the arm and point to express needs. Sam and his father are seeking a DSP to provide 10 hours of weekly support within his residence, with flexible scheduling. Sam enjoys music from the 1970s and 1980s, particularly The Rolling Stones, and will rock and dance to music. He uses a laptop to navigate the Internet, YouTube, and watch favorite videos like The Wiggles, Thomas the Tank Engine, or Richard Scarry. Sam carries a "jump rope" or shoestring for sensory activity and a picture book. He thrives on a structured routine but often gets stuck between steps and has difficulty with transitions, requiring patient and gentle encouragement from staff. Sam is independent with some activities of daily living (ADLs) but needs consistent verbal cues to stay on track and may require minimal hands-on support with personal care and meal preparation.
