NADSP Code of Ethics Tenet 1: Person-Centered Supports
In 2001, the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals created a code of ethics to guide direct support professionals (DSPs) through their work. The first tenet of the NADSP Code of Ethics is about person-centered supports. DSPs often hear advice about how to do their jobs, but this tenet reminds them that their first allegiance is to the person they support. All their other activities and functions flow from this allegiance.
