Diary of a DSP
Diary of a DSP is a survival guide for Direct Support Professionals, written by someone who's actually done the job for almost twenty years. Not a training manual written by someone who's never worked a shift. Real strategies, real stories, and the blunt truths nobody covers in orientation.
What the job actually asks of you (and why "light caregiving" was a lie)
Client rights — and the common ways they get violated without anyone realizing it
Trauma-informed care that won't leave you burned out
How to read behavior as communication instead of a problem to fix
Documentation that protects your clients, your team, and yourself
Boundaries, family dynamics, and how to advocate without losing your job
Recognizing burnout before it takes you out — and what to do next
This is for the DSP who's been a nurse, therapist, advocate, housekeeper, and documentation wizard all before lunch. You're doing one of the most important jobs out there. This book has your back.

Documentation
Defensible Documentation
Documentation makes or breaks you in this field, and nobody really teaches it. Follow a real (fictional) week in a group home, situation by situation, and learn how to write it up so it holds - plus the bigger things everyone in this work should understand.
