It includes three types of modules: 1) "virtual coaching" module (defined as a series of prompts, reminders, and suggestions that guide caregivers through assessment, goal setting, and goal review activities) to monitor respite time-use and time-use goals, 2) an interactive calendar that can be used to schedule and track respite time, 3) resource pages (including links, printable forms, video guides) that provide education and resources such as What is Respite?, Why is Respite Important?, How do I Get (More) Respite?, How do I Use Respite?.
