[QUOTE="Fran, post: 317831, member: 3"] Nomad, if you are going through the county public services, they will put her on the waiting list if she meets their criteria. I can tell you that it will be years. The other way is to ask her caseworker for suggestions. I mostly did searches of assisted living for dev. delays or AS. I did searches for programs for young adults. Just to get the list of places to call. Some church organizations have programs that will expose difficult child to decent young adults with social events. One locally has a coffee house that one evening a month is geared to the population of our young adults. It's very nice, safe. They play good music, do some karaoke, talk about whatever these guys talk about. It's a bit supervised to keep the adults safe but it basically an adult evening. No real interference. Some groups organize vacations and help clients save their money, help them set goals and they go as a group. You just have to do lots of searches. I ask everyone if they know of anything that would be appropriate for my son. Network so to speak. Just don't try to smooth over her rough spots. I almost shot difficult child's chances by minimizing his difficulties. In reality, they need to meet criteria that my difficult child has in order to get the services. If they don't have services, I ask if difficult child could get a job with them. :please: [/QUOTE]
