Respite Service Fees
Our Respite and Therapy Aide services are funded through the Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) program. FSCD contracts often include hours for:
​
-
In-home or community-based respite care
-
Therapy aide support to reinforce speech, occupational, or physical therapy goals
-
Assistance with regulation, social skill development, or goal-specific activities
Families typically access these services using their approved FSCD hours. Our team will coordinate with your FSCD caseworker to ensure services align with your child’s support plan and goals.
​
Not sure what’s covered under your FSCD contract? Email us at diffabilitiesyeg@gmail.com.
​
We can help you review your agreement, connect with your caseworker, and determine how our services fit into your plan.
​
If funding is limited or if you’re waiting for approval, we’re open to discussing short-term options or creative solutions so your child can still access the support they need.
