[quote=Anonymous]Take a look at the paperwork and coordination. Consider hiring a personal assistant/house manager to take some of the weight off. Older kid should have an assigned caregiver to shuttle him around. I also think that although right now she is the primary caregiver, there is no reason it has to stay that way forever. There are people with experience with SN kids on care.com who, even if they can’t take a full day, could drive him to appointments and do a few hours at home here and there. The key is integrating them slowly. Basically they would spend a lot of time with your wife and him, after 2 weeks or so phase your wife out for short periods so he begins to trust them. If you get the right person it will be a huge help for your wife (mentally) to know it doesn’t all ride on her. Burnout is real. It’s good you are taking steps to prevent it.[/quote]
