Intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) have it really hard and can use a break every so often. That's where respite comes in to save the day. Loving and caring individuals such as yourself devote their time to kick-in and care for these children for few hours so their parents can run errands, go out with friends, care for their other children or just relax.
