Earn an income while providing care for your mentally impaired/non self-directing child.
Raising a developmentally disabled child can take a toll on parents physically, emotionally and financially. However, obtaining a benefit known as Protective Supervision can significantly lessen this burden. Protective Supervision makes it possible for the parent of a mentally impaired/non self-directing child to leave full-time employment (or bar themselves from full-time employment) in order to provide care for their disabled child.
