January 25, 2008, Newsletter Issue #75: Respite

Tip of the Week



Occasionally, families need a break from their autistic relative. Respite is a service that helps families take some time away from the individual with autism. The services can be provided in the home environment or the individual may visit a facility for the day or overnight.

Respite goes beyond babysitting services. The respite care worker is trained to use interventions designed for the treatment of autism. The individual is engaged in play and therapeutic activities while in respite care.
