[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 632635, member: 1550"] Are you going for guardianship? Is she on SSI? My son is getting services as an adult. Now he is not a behavioral problem so maybe it's different...he is considered developmentally delayed. In his case, he was given vocational direction, social security, a job in a sheltered workplace that actually developed into a real job, Medicare and Medicaid and he gets a caseworker who checks up on him. I do know that some young adults with mental illness live in homes where there is supervision, to the extent they are legally allowed to be supervised. These services cost you nothing. I think you should find your local "Aging and Disabilities" (they usually go together) and make an appointment. to ask what you can do. This is where I got my start, although the school helped a lot too. If she is still in school, call the counselor and set up an appointment. He should be very well versed in the services available for your daughter. You should not have to pay a dime for good services if she is deemed disabled and getting disability. I want to add that my son is growing by leaps and bounds in this program and I believe he won't need a guardian in a few years (I am now his guardian). I really love these services. [/QUOTE]
