Whether a parent can be paid for providing services to a disabled child varies with the Medicaid and Medicaid-waiver services which the disabled child is receiving and with the parent's eligibility based on work eligibility, training requirements and whether the payment is made directly or through a home health care agency which employs the parent.  Please contact a local lawyer focusing on special needs planning.  You can find one through the website of the National Academy of Elder [and Special Needs] Law Attorneys (www.naela.org).
