Re: DDD / respite care / NJ People

[Guest guest]

You go thru MHMR. If your child is under the MH category(autism,etc) then you

can get day respite. If your child has an MR diagnoses, then you can get respite

thru MR and it will include overnights. I don't know how the funding is right

now in NJ. In PA they give us 3 days(overnights) right now but I can get more if

I request it.

DDD / respite care / NJ People

In response to a post that included " respite " care. Isn't that something that

is offered through the DDD? I am having the most worse time getting these

people to get back to me. I've send letters with No response. My son is

actually already enrolled with the DDD and I have never used any services nor

have I ever received any money that he may be entitled to. Now that he is

getting older, I'd like to see if I can get a little help. Keeping him busy

only helps keep him calm. The child is interested in music, learning to speak

spanish, he's even enrolled in a program at the gym, with what ins. pays some

of.

Why can't I get a response from these DDD people? It's been awhile since I

contacted or even talked to the lady in charge but she gives such a run around

that I am going to try to do everything through writing...maybe I'll try again

this week and do a return receipt on the letter to make sure someone got and it

signed for it. Ha
