Respite care can be provided in the home or out of the home depending on the need of the family. Respite providers may be a family member aunt, uncle, adult sibling, grandparent, etc. Respite gives a caregiver the ability to take a break to take care of their self.
As rewarding as our children are, being a full-time caregiver can be hard work. Utilizing respite services offers you the ability to relax and rejuvenate yourself so that you have the renewed energy, sense of humor, and peace of mind that it takes to provide the daily care that your child may need. Respite care gives your child the opportunity to have a break from you as well.
We know that you are the very best caregiver to your child but utilizing respite services gives your child the opportunity to build relationships with other people, to develop a level of trust for other caregivers, and helps move them toward a higher level of independence. The goals for Home-Based services, how often sessions are scheduled and what approaches will be used are decided together by the child, family and Home-Based worker.
Home-Based services are designed to support the child to remain in their family home. Home-Based services also may be used when children and families who have been separated are working on being reunified. When children are taking psychotropic medications as part of their treatment plan, they will meet regularly with a medical provider to discuss whether the medications are helping enough and what problems, if any, the medications might be causing.
Respite services provide relief from the daily stress and care demands of a child with behavioral challenges. Respite care for a child can be provided in the home or in another setting to support a parent who needs relief. CLS services are used to help a child or youth build his or her skills to be more successful in the community. CLS is also used with older children or adolescents to build skills so that they can become more independent.
Wraparound is a planning process used when children and families need a higher level of support to achieve their goals and when the child is at risk of not being able to stay at home or in the community. The Wraparound process starts with the Wraparound facilitator bringing together the child, his or her family and other people the family wants to involve - for example, a special education teacher or a foster care worker. The Wraparound team meets at least once a month to make sure all parts of the plan are going well and to adjust the plan if needed.
Wraparound usually lasts several months to a year based on the progress in meeting the goals. When it is time to finish the Wraparound process, the team will figure out what service providers will continue to work with the family - for example outpatient counseling, Community Living Supports CLS and psychotropic medication follow-up.
Case management services are provided when a child has emotional and behavioral needs and his or her family could use help connecting to supports and programs, like medical services, school supports or financial assistance.
A case manager works with a family to figure out what supports are most needed and helps them connect to those services. They also help the family learn how to advocate for themselves. Parent Support Partners have personal experience parenting a child with emotional or behavioral needs and are experts at helping families to be empowered during the treatment process and to build confidence and skills to assist their child to improve.
Applied Behavior Analysis is used in young children with autism to develop positive social skills and in older children with autism to help deal with challenging behaviors. It includes looking at situations a child may be experiencing before he or she does something, like hitting or running away. It also includes looking at how responses by adults after a behavior can make that behavior more or less likely in the future.
