I would also suggest if they can find home health care. I do home daycare but on the weekends I work for a home health agency. I am an LPN. (Licensed practical nurse) Our agency goes to homes and cares for special needs children one on one and most of the time we do this for the parents to work
I LOVE that job! This is done by a trained professional and its one on one "special"
care. Its also covered 100% by the state. Not sure if that would be something available to mom/child but it would be a big help to them.
