| Description & Services | ||||
| Description | This program helps families who are caring for a child with a developmental or physical disability, as well as adults with a developmental disability. It helps families pay for special services in the home or outside the family home as long as the child is not receiving support from a residential program. For example, the family can hire someone to help their child: * learn new skills and abilities, such as improving their communications skills * do more of the daily living activities on their own. Families can also get money to pay for services that will give them a break (or "respite") from the day-to-day care of their child. The amount of money a family receives depends on: * the type and amount of service the child needs * what help is available in the community * what kind of support the family is already receiving. | |||
