Respite

The Respite Program provides flexible support to families of children with autism and other additional needs, helping ease the pressures of caregiving by funding services and opportunities that support both caregivers and children.

Taking a Break to Better Support Your Family

Flexible family support providing relief for caregivers of children with autism and other additional needs

Raising a child with autism or other additional needs can place significant emotional, physical, and financial demands on families. The Respite Program helps ease some of that pressure by providing funding that allows caregivers to take a break and recharge. Families can use respite funding in ways that best meet their needs, including childcare, specialized recreation programs, travel to medical appointments or specialists, and educational opportunities that support their child’s development. The program is designed to strengthen families and help ensure caregivers have the support they need to continue providing the best care possible.
