Brunswick NJ. DSPs pick them up, take them into the community for social events,

consumers with special needs. DSPs are the link to the community for those they
serve. For some, they may be the eyes of those unable to see, or the voice for
those who cannot speak. For others, they are a friend, cheerleader, and subtle
support on the path to one’s true potential.

interest, situational assessments, etc.
