๐Ÿ™… There is no single, consistent way Direct Support Professionals are classified. Not in labor data. Not in Medicaid. Not in insurance. Not in workforce reporting.

That misalignment fuels underfunding, compliance risk, and burnout. And, itโ€™s one reason staffing challenges refuse to ease.

In our latest blog, Kibu's CEO & Co-Founder Daniel breaks down why DSP classification matters more than ever... and what providers can do now to get ahead of it.

If you lead a disability services organization, this oneโ€™s worth your time.

Weโ€™re excited to share that Kibu is now a partner of ANCOR American Network of Community Options and Resources!

ANCOR brings together community-based providers who are focused on person-centered outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They serve as a trusted hub - connecting providers, policymakers, and the public with the resources and insight needed to strengthen services and expand opportunity.

That mission aligns deeply with our own.

Kibu exists to support the people doing the work by giving providers clearer systems, better structure, and tools that reduce friction. We help teams stay focused on what matters most - supporting individuals with I/DD to be fully included, empowered, and respected in their communities.

Weโ€™re proud to stand alongside ANCOR and its members as partners in that work ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿค– AI is EVERYWHERE right now!

But for disability providers, how you use it matters just as much as if you use it.

AI can save time and reduce admin strain, but it can also create real compliance risk if itโ€™s used without guardrails.

We break down what HIPAA actually requires with AI, where common tools fall short, and how providers can move forward without putting data, staff, or the people they support at risk.

If youโ€™re exploring AI as a provider, or already using it, this is a must-read!

Welcoming The Arc of Monmouth to the Kibu family! ๐Ÿ’™

For more than seven decades, The Arc of Monmouth has helped people with IDD build full, independent lives. From adult day programs and employment supports to residential services and recreation, their work creates real momentum for individuals and families navigating whatโ€™s next.

Supporting a team that turns opportunity into action is what we're all about at Kibu, and we're so happy to be working with you! ๐Ÿ™Œ
