How do we prepare the next generation for essential roles in our community? The DSP-U program at East Palestine High School is the gold standard.
Facilitated by Lighthouse Cove, this program bridges the gap between the classroom and the real world. Students complete 160 hours of training and leave with a NADSP E-Badge Academy credential—equipping them with the skills to support people with I/DD immediately upon graduation.
