[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 40988, member: 1697"] Steph, The reality is she IS disabled. She was born disabled and continues to BE disabled. AND she still needs to cover living expenses while she continues to work her program. She still needs shelter, and food to eat and medical care. Even as she works her program. And while she continues her education. Due to my husband massive 100% service/combat related disabilities, he does not have a job to carry her on his insurance, and the VA gives us a small stipend monthly for our dependant childrens care........and due to my illness and the medications I must take to suppress my immune system (that I must take or I am a quadriplegic basically) I can no longer work so I also cannot carry her on medical insurance etc....and kids in college typically ARE carried on parents insurance. School shoved her out (I posted at CABF over the years about our battles with school and IEP compliance, and have posted more recently on Special Education forum here about my sons difficulties at school) so my daughter is still working her GED program, but school stopped her education basically at grade 7) - and her original class has not yet graduated yet, either, and her HS credits have her as unable to graduate for 2 more years. Typically people DO continue to provide the basics of living for their kids who have not yet graduated HS. And to get her health coverage to meet her medical needs, we had to apply for these programs. Becuz of our situation, we cannot stretch enough to provide for her. Yes, we continue to help her and guide her as she does work thru her program, just as parents of normal kids often need help while they go to college etc. But as she does work towards independance, and stability etc, she does need help.
