Short Breaks (Respite) @ Extend-a-Family Waterloo Region

Short Breaks Program provides a break for both people with disabilities and their families, by matching them with a Direct Support Person who cares for your son or daughter in either your home or the home of the Direct Support Person. The focus is on developing relationships, with people being matched with screened Direct Support People who have completed general training and who have been provided with specific information related to the person’s needs. Short Breaks are flexible, lasting a few hours or a weekend, or longer.
