Special Needs Respite provides funding for respite childcare so families of children with special needs can obtain breaks from their caregiving responsibilities. The organization operates a scholarship program that allocates short-term awards families can use to pay qualified caregivers or agencies. It pays caregivers directly based on submitted
invoices while clearly stating that it does not employ or contract caregivers itself. Special Needs Respite maintains relationships with approved respite care providers to help families who do not already have caregivers. It also offers a caregiver application and invoicing process, as well as information resources and a support group for parents. The organization raises funds through individual donations, stock gifts, events, and business partnerships to sustain its scholarship program.
