Respite care refers to a qualified individual giving a primary caregiver a break by caring for their child with autism for a period of time - 45 minutes, a few hours a week. That break may allow a primary caregiver to get to their doctor appointment, get their hair done, or go to the grocery store.
Being the primary caregiver can be overwhelming and exhausting. You may need a moment to yourself. It is important to take care of yourself. Utilizing respite care services is essential to maintain your overall health and well-being.
