Respite Care

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.
