Description

The lack of adequate support services and the direct support workforce crisis means family members are providing more support for their loved ones with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Providing support to a loved one with IDD can make it more challenging to balance responsibilities, including taking care of themselves. There is a need for increased caregiver support, including respite services.
