Your Role
Parents or primary caregivers of individuals with disabilities often struggle to find
someone who can help them care for their child. They are often tired and worn down.
As a respite worker, you will provide respite and supported living services for individuals
with disabilities on the DSPD Medicaid waiver and/or DSPD waiting list by helping
your new friends explore hobbies, learn skills, and take them out into the community.
You can bring joy, hope, and relief to their families!
Our Program
Funded by a grant from DSPD, the Utah Prader-Willi Syndrome Association—in partnership
with Tanner Dance at the University of Utah—has created the UtahRespite.Care program
to recruit, train, and connect respite workers with DSPD-funded families.
During the initial phase of this program in 2024, respite workers provided over 2,000
hours of respite care for Utah families. During Phase 2 in 2025, we continued the
program by adding families and respite workers from additional counties throughout
Utah.
