Break Time
Respite is vital for the health and well being of families of children with special health care needs. Parents need personal care themselves in order to adequately care for others. Families with a child with special needs appreciate the qualified nursing and professional staff, as well as myriad teaching students from local universities, who take pride in volunteering their time, to give special care to these children.
A unique feature of the program is that all siblings of children with special needs are encouraged to be part of Break Time as well, and they often enjoy Break Time as much as their sibling with a special need, as they are given one-on-one attention, do fun crafts, and play as they wish. This often affords parents the opportunity for five uninterrupted hours of time to spend together or to do much-needed errands.
