Hi @Stevend and welcome to our online community, I hope you are having a nice Saturday.
Scope have a webpage about 'Finding respite care when you look after a disabled child' which is a handy starting point.
To begin with you can look for your local authority's local offer as this will outline all services for you and your family in your area. Here's Leeds Local Offer website.
Equally, if you haven't already, you can ask for a needs assessment and carers assessment from your local authority to help identify and implement the support needed for you both. For more information visit:
I hope this helps and you get that much needed couple of hours breather to unwind a little. Please let us know if you have any other questions and best wishes to you and your family.Online Community Co-ordinator
