I get zero and I am about to jump off of a bridge...wait, I am wrong. Four.

I get four hours of respite per month from a group that we belong to- once

a week a teenager comes here and plays with my daughter for an hour.

From where do you get respite?

Hi, I was wondering how many hours of respite you guys are getting. I

am getting 16 hours a month. I feel like it is on the low side. I was

wondering if this is average or should I be getting more. And does it

make a difference on if I do or don't work? Thanks

We didn’t even KNOW about respite care until November, and by the time our

caseworker got us set up on it, we only get 1-1/2 months of it because

Melody turns 3 next month.

We got 20 hours for February and we get 10 hours for March because that’s

when she turns 3. My husband works, but I don’t. (Not OUTSIDE of our home

anyhow!) :)

I live in AZ & I get 60hrs respite/month or 700 some for the year. It rolls

over each month so if I don't use it one month, it keeps rolling over until

the end of the year. I'm one of the " older " families though & I don't know

if being known in the autism community & with Jim being active with our

state agency that they are not giving us a hard time about hours. With the

state deficit, I know many families are getting hours cut.

In AZ, we also get habilitation hours (can be used for ABA), but doesn't pay

for consultants. AZ doesn't have many certified providers (BCBA, BCABA) but

it's better than nothing.

I live in California.

I had never heard of it before November either.I would check if I were you!!

I feel like my caseworker sort of " forgot " to tell me on purpose or

something if you know what I mean!

Re: Respite Hours

I live in AZ & I get 60hrs respite/month or 700 some for the year. It rolls

over each month so if I don't use it one month, it keeps rolling over until

the end of the year. I'm one of the " older " families though & I don't know

if being known in the autism community & with Jim being active with our

state agency that they are not giving us a hard time about hours. With the

state deficit, I know many families are getting hours cut.

In AZ, we also get habilitation hours (can be used for ABA), but doesn't pay

for consultants. AZ doesn't have many certified providers (BCBA, BCABA) but

it's better than nothing.

Its not available in PA. We were going to move to Delaware because there we

could get respite services throught the school they told us but our house never

sold so we have given up at least for now.

I wish so bad we had respite here in PA.

Karin where in pa are you? Its so nice to have someone in the same state as

me.

Re: Respite Hours

I live in AZ & I get 60hrs respite/month or 700 some for the year. It rolls

over each month so if I don't use it one month, it keeps rolling over until

the end of the year. I'm one of the " older " families though & I don't know

if being known in the autism community & with Jim being active with our

state agency that they are not giving us a hard time about hours. With the

state deficit, I know many families are getting hours cut.

In AZ, we also get habilitation hours (can be used for ABA), but doesn't pay

for consultants. AZ doesn't have many certified providers (BCBA, BCABA) but

it's better than nothing.

Wait, you're in CA, right? Why do her respite hours end when she turns

3? All the kids I work with get respite through the Regional Center

and only one of them is under 3. Your EI service coordinator might not

know if they continue, but they should. You'll get a new case worker

when she turns 3, right? I would definitely ask them as soon as you

know who it is.

Yeah, they have a way of doing that with a lot of stuff. You know the

RC pays for diapers after age 3, right? That's one that a lot of my

families haven't been told. I always remind people to ask ;)

Is the respite from the MR? I don't think it's available without MR.

Your regional center, or whomever is your caseworker is supposed to get you

set up with respite care. Someone comes into your home and " babysits " your

child for you so you can get a break.

Get in contact with your caseworker TOMORROW and demand respite care! You

deserve it and need it!

My husband and I had our first respite on Sunday. 6 hours without Melody.

Our first time without her for that long in FOREVER and it was a much needed

break. Unfortunately we spent the first two hours fighting. Something that

respite is supposed to help you avoid!

In RI its relatively new for those on the autism spectrum.

I believe its 100 hours every 6 months, and you can use them however you want.

In ri you have to go through CEDARR which is basically a middle man for all

services < part of DHS >

I have the forms, but having applied yet. I'm a single, stay at home, home

schooling mom but my older two children typically ahve been the ones I use to

babysit.
