Answer (2)

Direct support professionals assist, teach, and perform tasks for individuals needing care, but they do not decide for those individuals. Empowering the individual is key to their support role. Therefore, option C, 'Deciding', is the correct answer as it does not align with the typical functions of a DSP. ;

The correct answer is C, 'Deciding', as direct support professionals do not make decisions for individuals but instead assist, teach, and perform tasks. Their role is to empower individuals to make their own choices about personal care. In summary, while DSPs provide support in various ways, they respect and uphold the autonomy of the individuals they assist.
