Rights Under the Lanterman Act Chapter 6

As part of the 2009 changes to the Lanterman Act, in-home respite was limited to 90 hours per quarter and out-of-home respite was limited to 21 days per year. (see W&I Code § 4686.5(a)). Respite hours will only be awarded when you require more care and supervision than a person of the same age without a developmental disability. ................
