Monthly Respite Care Events

Family Support Services offers monthly events for children with developmental disabilities. Children and youth ages 5-21 are invited to participate in theme-based activities with other kids and volunteers once a month, while parents and caregivers receive respite relief for a couple hours at scheduled times.

RSVP in advance! Children will receive personal invites in the mail! So we can better ensure a fun and safe environment with individualized care, parents need to fill out and bring with the enrollment form found on this page. There is a $5/child fee for each event.

For more information please contact our FSS staff at fss@laurabaker.org
