DSP TV Online

ANCOR is pleased to announce the winners of the 2008 DSP TV Online video contest!

More than 30 video entries were received, and among them 6 winners were chosen. Each video ranged in creativity and style, however they all carried a similar compelling message, that DSPs are an invaluable part of our communities and the supports they offer bring tremendous value to the lives of people with disabilities.

For too long the DSP workforce has been underappreciated, and this video contest is part of a greater effort to raise awareness of the workforce wage issue and give DSPs the ability to tell their stories in their own words, and as only they can.

Become an advocate for DSPs, and help this profession receive the compensation and notice it deserves. Check out the contest winners, and share these videos online with your friends, families and colleagues.
