How could I apply for respite care

I am the caregiver to a child with special needs. I am overwhelmed and exhausted. I heard something about "respite care". How could I apply for it?

Respite care is short-term care provided to people with disabilities so their families can take a break from the daily routine of caregiving. You can contact your local regional center for more information about respite care. The National Respite Locator Service (www.respitelocator.org) can also help you find care in your local area.
