Today's highlight for NWSRA's "I Am" campaign is Miyah Ruiz. Miyah is a Direct Support Professional who says "Every day that I come to work the participants give me a reason to smile, laugh, dance and just have fun! They allow you to let go of the uncertainties of the world, and just enjoy yourself in the present moment. ‘There is no greater disability in society than the inability to see a person as more’ (Robert M. Hensel). " If you, or someone you know is interested in Direct Support Professional, visit https://lnkd.in/g5zhrKpC
