[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 322723, member: 1233"] I understand your worries so well. Talk to the high school about transition services. Then go to Dept of Human Services and ask about transition services through them, and about transitional living programs. These are programs to help L learn to handle this stuff. Go to Social Security and ask them these questions. You won't be the first person to ask. You can also call if you don't want to use the mail. You are very right to be worrying about this now. You also want to look for the dept of rehabilitation services or vocational services. Some places allow high school students to go into a trade/tech area of study and have an extra year of high school. Wiz is doing it and loves it. Our state offers a 13th year to students who are willing to work and want to do the full trade/tech program. It is totally free. Wiz actually could do 1 more year because he skipped a grade, but he doesn't need it. If the local level tells you no, go to the state level. They should have some answers. [/QUOTE]
