NHS used to supply respite care that would give families a break of one or two nights per month.
But that care has been evaporating in Northern Ireland due to the loss of facilities and an increasing number of children who have gone into full-time care.
Many facilities are no longer available for respite as they are being used to house children who’ve gone into care.
Spotlight has learned there are currently no residential places for disabled children in two of Northern Ireland's health trusts.
