The network is composed of families of children and youth with disabilities and specialized support needs ages 0-26 who agree to both give and receive respite\, aka a break from caregiving. Caregivers in these families may include parents\, foster parents\, grandparents or older siblings who have custody of a younger brother or sister who apply to join. The program then matches them with another family member to share respite based on the child’s medical and support needs\, where the family lives\, and language and cultural identities and preferences. \nDuring the presentation\, we will discuss the extensive planning process prior to implementation\, the essential components of the respite opportunity based on reciprocity\, and the match process that combines best practices from Parent to Parent USA\, feedback from professional partners\, as well as wishes and concerns expressed by caregivers\, as well as share how we are working to engage diverse families and caregivers. We will also give an overview of the highly anticipated C2C expansion which involves engaging college students who will provide respite to families throughout the state while gaining meaningful practical experience supporting families of children and youth with specialized support needs. \nConnecting Families is our monthly series designed to bring parents\, caregivers\, and professionals together for learning\, support\, and real-time connection. Each session features expert presenters\, practical strategies\, and opportunities to engage with others who share similar experiences. Whether you’re navigating special education\, exploring community resources\, or looking for guidance and encouragement\, we are here to help you feel informed\, supported\, and connected. \nJoin us each month as we learn\, grow\, and strengthen our communities—together. \nThis registration is for all Connecting Families presentations. You do not need to register for each one separately.\n\n\n \n \n The Federation for Children with Special Needs is funded by grants which require us to collect data.
