Disability Service Provider Network: Announcing DSPN 2023 Advocacy Day

Madison, WI… The Disability Service Provider Network (DSPN) Advocacy Day and Spring Membership meeting convenes in person in Madison for the first time in several years. Representing the provider voice, DSPN has a strong and diverse membership of both residential and non-residential service providers. These services include community-based and center-based vocational and day services, supported employment, job development, training and placement, competitive integrated employment, care management, Community Based Residential Facilities (CBRFs), Adult Family Homes (AFHs), supported living arrangements, Adult Day Care Center (ADCC) services, early intervention, and other services that enable people with disabilities and economic disadvantages to live and work in their local communities.

Members will meet with legislative offices with their stories that speak to the urgent need for continued investments in Family Care. Adequate and sustainable funding is required to ensure our most vulnerable citizens lead full lives. The reality is providers continue to struggle to hire enough staff to maintain services.

Our Mission: DSPN exists to support and be a resource for member providers through advocacy and education resources so they can provide the highest quality and full array of services for those with disabilities throughout Wisconsin.
