Arkansas Support Network (ASN) is a licensed disability services provider serving individuals across Arkansas, with offices in Springdale, Fort Smith, Camden, and Jonesboro.

We partner with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, healthcare providers, schools, foundations, businesses, and families to provide effective, least-restrictive supports that help individuals with disabilities live meaningful lives in environments they and their families choose.

We are seeking compassionate and reliable DSPs to provide hands‑on support to an adult consumer in their home and community. This role focuses on promoting independence, dignity, and quality of life through person-centered care.

DSPs empower individuals to live in a home of their choice, access community resources, attend school or work, and participate in activities that are meaningful to them.

The individual is described as kind, sweet, outgoing, polite, and easy‑going, with a pleasant personality and a willingness to engage with others. Family and pets are very important in her life, and she enjoys spending time at home as well as participating in community activities.

She is working toward increasing independence in daily living skills, including cooking, personal care, and mobility. She benefits from verbal prompts and gentle, step‑by‑step support to complete tasks safely and successfully. She enjoys structured daily routines that include household chores, leisure activities, and community outings such as shopping, movies, and dining out.

The individual benefits most from patient, respectful, and encouraging staff who understand her level of support needs while promoting independence. She does best with clear communication, gentle guidance, and assistance with personal care tasks as needed.

She is also interested in building independence in the community, including attending social and faith-based activities and developing peer connections. Overall, she is motivated to continue gaining confidence, improving daily living skills, and increasing independence while maintaining safety and support.
