Centre-based Respite

Respite is a great way to have a 'break' away from the demanding pressures of caring for a child with a disability.

It gives brothers and sisters the opportunity to spend time with you by themselves, or do a special activity that they may not otherwise be able to do.

Children love coming to respite. It gives them the opportunity to make new friends, be one of the group and relax.
