Developmental Assistants are professionals who provide support and care to individuals with developmental disabilities or delays. They assist clients in daily living activities, help implement treatment or educational plans, and encourage social and personal development. Developmental Assistants often work under the supervision of healthcare, educational, or social service professionals in settings such as group homes, schools, or community centers. Their goal is to promote independence and improve the quality of life for those they support.
