"You're Ducking Awesome."

That's what Holly, our day program manager, had printed on rubber ducks for her team for DSP Recognition Week. There were certificates too, plus candy and enough Little Hugs to get everybody through a Thursday.

Our direct support professionals do the hardest job in this company. They show up early, stay late, and treat the people we serve like family.

Holly, thank you for making a week of it.

And to every DSP on our team: you are, in fact, ducking awesome.

It's National DSP Recognition Week.

Direct support professionals are the people who show up at 6am, at midnight, and on holidays. They pass medications, teach someone to cook, and sit with a family on the worst day of their year.

In Ohio, 37% of them left the field last year. Average wage, $17.71 an hour.

That one number explains most of what's wrong with quality in this industry. You can't build good care on a workforce that turns over by a third every year.

We don't have the whole answer. We do know the people who stay are the reason families trust us.

To our team at Beautiful Minds: thank you for every shift, including the ones nobody saw.

If you know a DSP, tell them today.

What a week at Beautiful Minds Group! ❤️

🦁 We went wild at the Akron Zoo — animals, the safari truck, and tons of smiles.
💛 We celebrated National Forgiveness Day, talking about letting go, choosing kindness, and moving forward, plus a fun forgiveness coloring activity.
🎨 And painting day had everyone creating masterpieces and enjoying time together.

From adventures out in the community to creative days at the center, every moment matters. Here's to many more! 💙

What a summer it's been! ☀️🐠

Our Beautiful Minds Group crew has been out living it up — checking out the sharks and stingrays at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium, soaking in the views by Lake Erie, and having a blast at the park. 🎡

Nothing beats good weather, great company, and days full of smiles. Here's to more adventures together! 💙

Presden’s LEGO collection keeps growing 🔥

Newest addition: the Bugatti Bolide. This one took some time and focus, but he stuck with it and knocked it out.

Pretty cool seeing it come together piece by piece. He’s already eyeing the next one.

Small moments matter.

Planting seeds might seem simple, but it’s more than that. It’s patience. It’s responsibility. It’s learning that what you put in today grows over time.

At Beautiful Minds, we focus on these everyday experiences. Hands-on activities that build life skills, confidence, and independence.

It’s not just about the activity. It’s about what it teaches.
