receive some relief. The program provides evening and weekend respite to families by taking the developmentally disabled<br />

transportation. The individual served is only responsible for their cost of the activity selected (i.e. admission ticket to a movie).<br />

family member. Service hours vary during evenings and weekends.<br />
