A - We define respite as a planned break for the parent from the child. Respite care gives caregivers the chance to have some time for themselves away from the responsibility for caring for the child with special needs. The Region I office has a contract with Woodfords Family Services for respite care. The staff at Woodfords work with each family to find a respite provider. Woodfords keeps a list of trained, certified respite providers. Families can also arrange with Woodfords to have a provider of their choice provide respite for their child.
