Interested in providing Skills Education or Respite Care?
One of the supports frequently needed by families and individuals with developmental disabilities, served through The Arc of Frederick County is direct service from a provider for several hours a week. We assist the families and individuals to locate providers to interview and hire as direct service providers called Skills Educators and *Respite Care Providers. Skills Educator and Respite Care Provider job descriptions vary as this is based on the individual who hires them, but the following generally applies.
- Provide assistance and teach skills so that the individual will achieve their desired outcomes in areas of household management, community involvement, academic achievement, social and recreational activities, personal health, safety, and problem solving

The Arc of Frederick County acts as the Fiscal Intermediary for the state funding granted the individual (employers) to pay providers (skills educators) for this support. The employer and provider complete the required paperwork and The Arc's financial department administers payment for the employer to the provider based on this paperwork.
*Respite Care is a block of time used by the primary caregiver and the individual with a disability to receive a "break" from their daily routine needs. A provider may be needed for a few hours, overnight, weekend(s), a week. Respite Care may be preferred in the provider's home or the individual's home. If it is more than a few hours, daily, weekend, or weekly rates of pay may be negotiated between the employer and the provider.
