Millions of families across America struggle with the difficulties involved in raising a child with special needs. For these families, Home Care Advisory Group (HCAG) hopes to offer some clarity and, perhaps, a better path forward by illuminating the myriad OPWDD resources that parents may benefit from in 2025.

The OPWDD, or Office for People With Developmental Disabilities, provides both funding and educational resources to families who take care of individuals with disabilities. OPWDD programs are wide-ranging in their goals, often dedicated to supporting the caregivers just as much as the individuals receiving care.

The new guide from the Home Care Advisory Group reviews the many services that the OPWDD provides to families that may not be aware of the aid available to them. The guide discusses key information hubs operated by the OPWDD, local networks, webinars, and more.

As the HCAG explains, the educational services offered by the OPWDD are a critical part of the organization’s efforts. Through a combination of reading materials, live workshops, and fieldwork, the organization seeks to equip families with the skills required to provide compassionate, complete care to their loved ones.

However, the HCAG and the OPWDD both understand that some families may not have the time or resources to provide care themselves. For these families, the office provides connections to qualified aid programs that may be able to offer either financial support or direct on-site assistance through a qualified team of home care professionals.

Regarding this publication, a spokesperson stated, “Taking advantage of these offerings can lighten the load on caregivers and empower families with knowledge and support. By engaging with the community and utilizing online resources, parents can ensure they are providing the best possible care for their loved ones.”

This new guide joins a wide range of resources available at no cost from the Home Care Advisory Group. The company also offers direct assistance in the form of advisory services to those looking for home care providers, particularly those covered by Medicare.
