DSP Award Recipient - Meryl Hornyak

The Portage County Board of Developmental Disabilities is proud to recognize Meryl Hornyak as a Portage DD Direct Support Professional (DSP) Award Recipient.  Meryl works for Ever Well and was nominated by SSA Debra Gordon.

 Here is what Deb had to say about Meryl:  Meryl goes out of her way to meet people where they are in their lives in the most nonjudgmental and respectful fashion.
She incorporates things that people like and places that promote their autonomy and success into her service delivery approach.
Meryl is fun, gentle, and effective. Her impact on people’s lives is immeasurable!

 The Direct Support Professional (DSP) of the Month Award is for those staff who provide direct support or direct services for individuals served throughout Portage County.

This award is an opportunity to nominate someone who has gone above and beyond to improve the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities while also promoting independence and inclusion.

Individual award recipients will receive public recognition from Portage DD and be promoted on our social media channels. Award recipients will also later be considered for Direct Support Professional of the Year.

All nominations will be kept on file for review and consideration for a period of 12 months after initial submission.
