Respite Services

This workshop will help you understand what respite care is and how to apply for it through your local Regional Center. Respite care gives family caregivers a break by providing temporary care for a child or adult with developmental disabilities. It’s especially helpful when the person’s medical, physical, or behavioral needs are more than what a typical caregiver or family member can handle. What you’ll learn in this training:

• What respite services are and who qualifies;
• How to request respite through your Regional Center;
• What types of support are available for families;
• Answers to common questions about in-home care; and
• How respite fits into your overall Individual Program Plan (IPP).
