Description:
The Developmental Services Worker (DSW) diploma program prepares you for a meaningful career in supporting people with developmental disabilities and their families. You will learn how to promote the development and maintenance of health and well-being, life skills, and personal empowerment of people with developmental disabilities. You will also learn how to promote the development of inclusive communities that accept people with disabilities as valued and participating citizens.
Developmental services workers play an increasing role in promoting learning not only as educational assistants, but also as community agency and family workers. To this end, students study basic theoretical and practical theory and acquire practical skills in the social service, education, and health areas.
