Autism and Special Needs Care
In-home autism and special needs support for children and adults
Families raising a child or supporting an adult with autism often struggle to find caregivers who are patient, consistent and trained for sensory and behavioral needs.

Questions families ask
Autism and Special Needs Care: common questions
Do your caregivers provide ABA therapy?+
No. ABA therapy is delivered by your therapy provider. Our caregivers follow the strategies in your family’s plan so support stays consistent between sessions.
Do you support autistic adults, not just children?+
Yes. We support adults with autism and intellectual disabilities with daily routines, life skills, community outings and respite for their families.
Can we use our NOW or COMP waiver with CareBridge?+
No. CareBridge is private pay only and is not a waiver provider. Families who use a waiver for some hours sometimes add private pay hours with us.
How do families pay for care?+
CareBridge is a private pay home care agency. Families pay directly, and we also work with long-term care insurance and veterans benefits where they apply. We do not accept Medicare or Medicaid, including the NOW and COMP waivers.
