[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 642836, member: 1550"] Well, I"m glad you are both in the same state. However, it may be different when a caregiver is dangerous to somebody who is given custody of that person than if the parent applies for guardianship. It didn't cost us anything and there was no need to get a lawyer. I think the school would know what to do before anything is undertaken. Probably plenty of their student's parents are applying for legal guardianship. They likely know the ropes about young adults who are disabled and how parents can get legal guardianship over their disabled children. First the child needs to be declared disabled by the state and the school can likely point poster in the right direction. I am not trying to say anyone is right or wrong, just that each situation is different. I'd look into it before panic set in about money. I'd see first what the school's experience with other parents has been. That's how we started out. Another note: I have read MANY posts that triggered memories for me that were trauamtic. This place is not a place where you always hear things you like to hear and, as you can see in the Watercooler, many threads are long and personal, about our trauamas. Sorry this one was a trigger, but I could not have known that and while I'm sorry, I had no idea. Good luck :) [/QUOTE]
