Anyone else have in home health care or lifeskills coach or respite provider for their kids?
We have all three!! Respite is as needed--(less than 10 hours a month) In home health care-is 16 hours a week and Lifeskills is 12.5 hours a week
I've been looking into home health care for nights cuz of his seizures and night feeds but I dunno what the qualifications or requirements to get it are.
Brady has an ABA Therapist that is with him for 8-10 hours/week, plus his other therapies, but that's it. No respite care unless my husband is deployed.
Get a prescription from your doc-with his diagnoses and what his needs are and what he is unable to do and why the night feeds are needed and re: more about the seizures also--
Quoting Mipsy:
We have respite and get 10jrs a week right now.

when we lived in a small town- we couldn't get her on the program- there wasn't enought funds. they were only doing the emergency ones, as they put it. the sheltered workshop was just barely going, they were lucky if they worked three days a week. i felt so sorry for the adults that didn't have any family support. here i was so surprise when the lady said krista go could go!! and even more when she said she could go all week if she wanted to!! the sheltered workshop here has a long waiting list- but compared to the other one( which is all i have to compare it too) they have alot of work for them here!!
we were on the waiting list 6 years and already maxed out the funds (there is another waiting list for a different type of waiver that we are now on--it is the waiting game-this allows more fund for him--my son needs 24/7 supervised care and so we need the other waiver--just waiting-hopefully not another six years--
Glad your daughter got in it!!!

First step to a diagnosis and I have such mixed feelings, no answers. :(
