We assist clients with document translation or interpretation, also known as sight translation. We assist with translating documents such as anything they receive in the mail, bills, medical paperwork, insurance letters, etc.; anything our clients need help understanding.
Drop-Off Respite Care
Respite Drop-off provides a safe space for adults and children with special needs. It is a way to provide their caretaker with time to themselves, whether they are busy at work, have appointments or simply need some time to themselves. Our Drop-off team consists of two part-time staff who provide childcare on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 1:30-6 pm and Saturdays from 10 am-4:30 pm. They provide transportation to and from the home if needed.
Family Conferences
We have been honored to host a Family Conference Program for our Monorom clients. These conferences provide an excellent opportunity for parents/guardians to de-stress, strengthen communication, and nurture positive relationships while learning about self-care and prioritizing one's health and well-being.
Guardianship Support
Our team offers help to clients' parents interested in getting guardianship for their children. Guardianship is the position of being legally responsible for the care and legal actions of someone unable to manage their own affairs. This allows the parent to make legal decisions on their child's accord/ behalf after the child turns 18.

The Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) aims to guarantee that a child with a legally recognized disability receives customized instruction and related services while attending an elementary or secondary school. We help provide support during their IEP meetings, ensuring that the parents understand everything.
