Centre intégré de santé et de services sociaux de Laval

    • Family support

    This program is for biological or extended families living with a child or adult aged 60 or under with a disability. The program is also for parents or guardians who themselves are experiencing a disability and who need to provide for the well-being and development of their children (who may or may not have a disability themselves).

    This program also helps families and loved ones get support adapted to their needs so that they can stay involved in the life of the person with a disability. This program aims to prevent caregiver exhaustion and helps keep the person with a disability at home.

    To fulfil this goal, the program provides a subsidy to families for respite and babysitting services. The program develops and provides access to a range of respite and assistance services for clients with an intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, or physical disability (ID-ASD-PD).
