 Tammie Hudson tends to Ian Roe, who has cerebral palsy, at his home near Dayton, Ohio. Hudson often works overtime to fill shifts and the needs of her clients. (Courtney Hergesheimer/The Columbus Dispatch/TNS) | by Shaun Heasley, DisabilityScoop.com | March 3, 2020 The federal government would track the number of direct support professionals for the first time ever under a new proposal designed to help address a shortage of workers to assist people with disabilities. A bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives on Monday would change the way that the government categorizes direct support professionals. Currently, these workers are lumped in with home health care aides in the system used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to monitor workforce trends. Advocates say that category is far too broad and leads to a lack of reliable information about how many people across the nation are employed as direct support professionals and where more are needed. |
