The Special Services at Home (SSAH) Program provides a variety of respite and in-home support for families that care for an infant, child or youth (up to age 18) with a developmental and/or physical disability. SSAH Coordinators work with families to develop their own personal plan identifying areas in which they would like to see their child grow and develop, and they can help families know their service options through SSAH.

SSAH Coordinators can also help navigate finding a Self-Employed Independent Contractor to provide one-to-one support to your child. Self-Employed Independent Contractors may provide support in various ways, depending on identified support goals. Some examples include support in the family home, implementation of therapies such as OT, PT and/or SLP, community activities, and development of life skills. Flexible support options are also available for routine home maintenance, respite and babysitting.

Participation in the program is voluntary, confidential, and tailored to each individual's unique goals and aspirations.
