All’s Well Healthcare has partnered with the State of California’s Department of Developmental Services (DDS) to launch a statewide, paid 3-month shadow training program. This initiative matches candidates with organizations that support adults with special needs. Participants shadow staff to gain firsthand experience, and if there's a mutual fit, they may be offered permanent employment—sometimes as early as week three, mimicking a "working interview."

As a Direct Service Professional (DSP) Intern, you’ll work under the supervision of an experienced DSP mentor for up to three months and 30 hours per week. This internship gives you hands-on experience where you will shadow train and learn how to support individuals with diverse developmental and or intellectual needs in living more independent and living fulfilling lives.

Your duties will vary based on each person’s needs and goals, but may include:
• Helping individuals feel empowered and respected
• Supporting communication and social interaction
• Assisting with daily living skills (e.g. cooking, hygiene, transportation)
• Encouraging and supporting participation in community activities
• Facilitating access to services and resources
• Supporting education, job readiness, and career goals
• Promoting health and wellness
• Advocating for individual rights and inclusion
• Helping build and maintain meaningful relationships
• Documenting services and progress
• Ensuring the person remains at the center of all decision-making
