Support Services
Respite Days
Happiness House provides on-site respite services one Saturday per month from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Children ages three and up are eligible to attend. Parents supply a lunch and the child is offered activities and peer interactions. Children do not have to stay the full four hours but may do so. Staff engage the children in fun activities so that parents can have a break from their care.

Family Partnership Program
Happiness House provides a reimbursement program to families and individuals to assist with the higher costs related to the person's disabilities. Each application is reviewed by a committee of staff and parents. Items that can be reimbursed include continence products, babysitting (not daycare), educational items, sensory items, and other therapeutic items. Requests can be one-time or for ongoing needs.
