Congratulations to Joseph Sheldon, Self Direction DSP of the year 2025!
Joseph is an exemplary DSP providing ComHab services to 3 individuals in the New Hope Community Self Direction Program. He exhibits versatility working both 1:1 and 1:2 with these participants. Joseph is kind, diligent, and attentive to the needs & valued outcomes of each participant that he works with.
One of his participants, Nate & his family feel “lucky to have Joseph on our team” and wrote the following about Joseph…
J – Joyful always – never a frown
O – Outstanding in every way
S – Sensitive to everyone’s needs
E – Empathetic with boundless energy
P – Passionate about his work
H – Honorable and hardworking
Joseph also supports two young men, Brett & Max, who live in a house independently with the support of ComHab staff and a Live-In Caregiver.
Brett’s family states, “Joe is a truly remarkable human being and DSP. Joe is completely devoted to Brett and Max and their safety, well-being, happiness, and continued development. Joe is unflappable and handles each new problem or challenge and each unexpected change in schedules or routines with a calm and professional resolve.” Joe is skilled in keeping the parents and DSP/Live-In Caregiver fully and timely informed of how they are doing and any problems or concerns that arise. Brett is learning to speak using a letterboard and keyboard and Joe has enthusiastically become “a communication partner, a challenging and difficult assignment that Joe willingly took on and succeeded in mastering.”
Joseph’s dedication as a DSP is integral to Nate, Brett & Max’s success, independence, socialization and safety. Joe truly makes a difference and those 3 special young men, their families and the Self Direction Team at New Hope are grateful for all he does.
Thank you Joe!

We are thrilled to present Paul Nocita as New Hope Community, SHS Division DSP Of The Year.

With a heart full of compassion and a spirit grounded in calm strength, Paul Nocita exemplifies what it means to be a truly exceptional Direct Support Professional. Known for his gentle demeanor, unwavering patience and deep respect for every individual he supports, Paul creates a safe and empowering environment where people thrive. Paul’s consistent kindness, quiet leadership, and dedication to person-centered care have earned the admiration of peers, families, and the community alike. Paul is a beautiful person inside and out. He isn’t just a DSP to the person he supports he has become part of his family. He builds meaningful relationships that help empower the person he supports to achieve his goals and become more independent. Paul assists him while visiting the gym and has helped him adopt a healthier lifestyle. At first it was a difficult task, but with Paul’s encouragement he was able to create a routine of visiting the gym twice a week. The person he supports is now able to have a job as well as learn the importance of saving/budgeting with assistance from Paul. We couldn’t be more thrilled to honor Paul as the DSP of the Year and reflect on the love and excellence he brings to his work every single day.
