RESPITE CARES! Training Program

The RESPITE CARES! respite care training program is designed for adults interested in providing respite care services for families of children who have disabilities.

Learn how to care for children with disabilities and provide respite care. RESPITE CARES! is a interactive hands-on training. This day-long program prepares individuals to offer first-rate care for children who have mild to moderate disabilities and/or enter the field of special education some day.

Caring for a child with special needs can be a 24-hour-a-day job, with limited downtime to take care of family matters, catch a movie or just relax on the sofa. Parents of children with disabilities desperately need a break to rest, relieve stress and get re-energized. Respite care for a child with disabilities is something that every parent asks for, but few ever get.

Unlike families of typical children, who can hire a typical child care professional when they need a break or night out, respite care requires someone with training and confidence to tend to the child’s needs.
