Who do I contact for help with my child with a disability in NM?

I see a lot of options for people caring for the elderly. My son has Duchenne MD and I have to quit my job in order to care for my son who is now wheelchair bound. I need help finding info on being paid for being a full time caregiver. Please help.

No you don't quit your job. You work with social services to get him into a day program, you get him on SSI and when he is 21, you find him a group home. My sister is on her own and has been for 35 years. Keeping them at home means social isolation for both of you. Not so good.
