trust me is as busy as yours ,,Lolo school 4 days a week, 8.45 to 11.30 , then ABA 5 days a week for 21/2 or 3 hour session each day, right after that speech ( 3 hour weekly) and OT ( 3 hours weekly ) and we have swimming lessons on Saturday , morning . , my respite care worker is a great lady , she stays with my daughter during Aba sessions , or she takes her for speech or OT ( they have to take place at the clinic) , and most weekends I can leave her with her if I want to go with hubby for lunch and movies , .. I work on call do there is some days that I need her to stay a full day ...:-)

what about weekends? , and I you need some time off during the weeks , your respite care worker can stay with your kid while he is having a session , they just need a responsible adult during those times, my respite care worker is able to transport my daughter to speech or OT therapy if I am unable , hope this helps!
