Abstract

The Respite Resources Manual, a 1994 project of the Iowa Child Health Specialty Clinics in cooperation with the Iowa Department of Education, is used as an information and referral source. The manual identifies respite or respite-like programs across the state. For the purpose of this manual respite is defined as short term caregiving to families for the care of a child or children who may have special needs or a developmental delay. The manual includes over 150 agencies that provide respite care. Child care resource and referral programs which facilitate linkages between families with special needs children and available respite/child care providers are also included.
