Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD)
Family Support Services is a Georgia state program (run by DBHDD) that helps families who care for a loved one with an intellectual or developmental disability at home, such as autism, cerebral palsy, or Down syndrome. A Family Support Coordinator works with each family to build a plan that can include respite care, referrals, family education, social and recreational activities, and help finding medical equipment. It is for people who do not already get NOW/COMP Waiver services, and you apply through a local community provider.
