A resolution designating the week beginning September 7, 2025, as "National Direct Support Professionals Week".

S.Res. 453 proposes to designate the week beginning September 7, 2025, as National Direct Support Professionals Week. This resolution aims to recognize and honor direct support professionals, who are workers that provide essential care and assistance to individuals with disabilities and paralysis. The resolution would serve as a congressional tribute to acknowledge the important contributions these professionals make in supporting vulnerable populations.

As a non-binding resolution, this measure does not have the force of law and does not require presidential signature. Instead, it functions as a symbolic gesture from Congress to draw attention to the vital role of direct support professionals in the healthcare and disability services sectors. If passed, the designation would encourage public recognition of these workers during that specific week in September 2025.
