The year 2 survey collected data about direct support professionals (DSPs) and frontline supervisors (FLSs) from calendar year 2019. Seventy-five organizations submitted a survey in year 2. This was 70% of the 107 organizations who were eligible to take the survey. Regional breakdowns were based on where the organization’s highest percentage of services were located. Of the 47 organizations, 27% of organizations provided their highest service percentage in the East region, 44% in the Middle region, and 29% in the West region.
