Every day across Ontario developmental service workers
‘make it possible' for people with developmental disabilities
to live in the community and thrive. 

It's important work that often goes unrecognized.

That's why celebrating Developmental Service Worker (DSW) Appreciation Day across Ontario on January 18, 2012 in your workplace is important.
