What do DSP jobs pay, and where are they?
Direct Support Professional (DSP) roles in the US are advertised at roughly $17/hr – $24/hr, with entry roles near $17/hr and senior or supervisory roles near $24/hr. Perpetual. Vacancy rates in IDD services are the highest in behavioral health. DSP work is delivered in person, so location and drive time matter more than for most clinical roles.
