The Developmental Services Worker (DSW) program prepares you for a meaningful career working with people of all ages who have special needs such as developmental disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, dual diagnosis, and multiple handicaps. The main goal of our DSW program is to support these individuals to be a part of our community. As a DSW student, you will learn many valuable skills that can be used to promote the development and maintenance of the physical health, mental health, and personal empowerment of individuals with special needs. A significant number of field placement hours are incorporated into the DSW program, providing students with opportunities for the real-life application of skills and knowledge learned in the classroom.
DSW graduates are employed by community agencies, school boards, and families in a variety of jobs: residential counsellor, educational assistant, adult day program counsellor, recreationist, seniors' support worker, and independent contract staff.
As a DSW, you will truly make a difference in the lives of other people!
