[QUOTE="DDD, post: 439920, member: 35"] The three options listed (potato chip sorter just struck my funny bone) are jobs that may be available in an industrial city. We are basically a citrus county and the picking is done by very coordinated nimble crews with special visas. The Hearing Officer was intelligent, polite and very upfront that the criteria was capability to do repetitive tasks. He had five medical documents that were dated 2011 (they don't use any evaluations done prior to reaching adulthood, by the way) including a neuro/psychiatric. The decision is made by a group and I believe she gave her best shot for difficult child. Yes, I know, I don't often say positive things about "the system", lol. She was impressed that I had connected with Volunteers of America and that they would provide job coaching on site at the apartment that is available for him. That was the key to getting a positive result but it didn't work. I don't think there is any value in going up to the level above the District. He wants to work. He is an attractive young man who uses good manners. He sounds "normal" in a brief conversation. He does have a standard high school diploma. In a healthier economy and in a larger city I don't doubt he could get and probably maintain a repetitive task job...in the right environment. Employers don't have to take on the burden of close supervision or even be bothered by job coaches that provide support free of charge. Almost 12% of our County is unemployed by official record. So...I have a lead on a two week training program that I'll pusue. He will keep sliding backward so long as his lives with GFGmom. Sign! by the way, that criteria is also used for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)'s also. That is why easy child/difficult child was turned down and believe me has Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) issues that interfere with daily living. Double Sigh! DDD [/QUOTE]
