A bit premature, but I'm totally afraid my son will fall between the cracks.

[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 323112, member: 1169"] MWM, If the school has not created a transition plan for him yet (with you and him), they are 2 years BEHIND! This should have been addressed at the IEP meeting when he was 14. They can do supported employment, etc. If he is going to need supported housing, you may need to get him on a waiting list now. For Kanga, we are working on her IEP right now and she is going to get a job with a job coach starting when she turns 16. We will also delay graduation by at least a year, maybe more so that she stays in the school support system longer. It will also give us the chance to transition her from Youth Mental Health to Adult Mental Health and have her SSI approved before the school cuts her loose. I think that overlap of services will be crucial to ensure they do not fall through the cracks. [/QUOTE]
