RESPITE CARE SERVICES FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS / WEEKEND RELIEF SERVICES
Respite Care Services for Children with Special Needs upholds the same philosophy as the Family Service Act of New-Brunswick, specifically that the family is the basic unit of our society. The program is intended to protect, support and enhance families of children diagnosed with developmental disabilities. The primary goal of this program is to provide individualize and responsive relief care to the family. Respite Care Services also offers weekend relief services for children and adults with special needs referred to us by the Social Development.
