Benefits and government programs

Information about Social Security, SSI, SSDI, Medicaid, Medicare, waivers, education, disability services, government programs, or other benefits is provided for educational purposes only.

Program rules, eligibility requirements, policies, laws, benefit amounts, and procedures may change and may vary according to individual circumstances and location.

Medical and safety information

Information concerning disabilities, rare diseases, health conditions, caregiving, safety, emergency preparedness, or related topics is educational and is not medical advice.

Independence and offloading tasks

Kids Rare Care provides educational strategies designed to help families explore caregiver capacity, participation, support systems, and greater independence.

Every individual has different abilities, needs, risks, preferences, and levels of support.

Examples and strategies related to independence, offloading tasks, teaching responsibilities, expanding support circles, or changing routines are not guarantees of a particular result. Families are responsible for determining whether an activity or strategy is appropriate and safe for their circumstances and for obtaining professional guidance when needed.

Greater independence does not mean doing everything alone. Safety, dignity, informed choice, appropriate support, and the individual's needs should remain central to decision-making.
