Respite Programs

We here at the Special Parent Advocacy Group offer various Respite services for special needs children and their families. Following are the distinct Respite programs we offer.

Respite care is an essential part of the overall support that families may need to keep their family member with a disability at home, or with other care options. The word "respite" means to take a break from the daily challenges of caring for a child (or a parent) with special needs. It can be planned for a few hours or for as long as necessary, as long as it corresponds with governmental stipulations. Respite can take place in your home or temporarily in another setting, such as a day center or in the community.
