Autism Spectrum Services
Respite Care

A website for parents to receive support and tips on raising children with autism and asperger's.

Ready made teaching activities using visual teaching strategies.

Seeking support and maintaining one’s own health are key to managing care giving years. Using respite care before you become exhausted, isolated, or overwhelmed is ideal, but just anticipating regular relief can become a lifesaver. As a parent of a child with special needs, I understand the difficulties and struggles you face when trying to find the right care and services for your family, yourself, and your home. Care Partners was founded in 2007, for the unique purpose of enabling families to find balance. We offer parents an opportunity to spend time outside the home with other friends and family, or to just relax. Give them time to take care of errands such as shopping, exercising, getting a haircut or going to the doctor. Most importantly, parents benefit from the comfort or peace of mind knowing that the child with special needs is spending time with another caring individual.



Services provided occasionally or on a regular basis, and may be scheduled from a few hours to overnight. Services are provided in-home, allowing patients to remain in their own environments. For more information, visit us online at www.acaringpartner.com or call 832 206 2668.

Parent training & family support is a critical element of any child's individualized education plan. With limited resources, it is vital that the treatment used is easy to implement and readily usable in home and community settings.
