Cash subsidy program: family satisfaction and need.
Families of children with severe developmental disabilities who were participating in a cash subsidy program were surveyed about their satisfaction with the program. They were also asked about their need for a variety of other services. Families were satisfied with the operation of the program and with the amount of the subsidy they received. Families indicated a need for more respite care or sitters more often than any other service. Respondents were found to use their subsidy for the types of services they said they needed.
