I hope this page will be a valuable tool for you. I first
heard the word "Respite" from our County
Intervention Office, when our son was one year old.
I provided the babysitter and they paid for it. There
was a time when our son cried 24/7 unless he was
held very tightly. I later learned that he had an
immature nervous system that needed to be
regulated by receiving lots of input through various
types of movement. It was a very intense time and I
wasn't getting much sleep. I hired Marymount
University Special Education Majors and Physical
Therapist Majors to come and "run" my son around
from 5-7 p.m., six days a week for more than six
months. I slept during that time. I also taught these
incredible girls all of the exercises that the
therapists taught me, so that our son was able to
have fun yet get the input he needed.

I have since learned about these other places that
offer Respite Services through their very trained
and qualified employees.
