Sep 1, 2020 | News

Happy September! 

September typically invokes images of back to school and getting ready for fall. As of today, for the NADSP it means we have received 12,000 NADSP E-Badge Academy submissions. That’s 12,000 Points of Interaction from across North America. 12,000 examples from Direct Support Professionals describing how they use their professional skills in support of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We are so excited for this milestone as we approach the close of our second year of the NADSP E-Badge Academy.
