[QUOTE="DDD, post: 108494, member: 35"] Both my boys are enrolled with Voc/Rehab. difficult child is just 17 but I have requested that they provide him with a driving instructor and a social skills coach...two desperately needed supports that I can't handle and the school hasn't provided. easy child/difficult child has brain damage and has..once again..had to miss an appointment due to his incarceration (which is caused by a system that seems to have even more brain damage..lol). I am curious however how SSDI and Voc/Rehab can work together. The most recent neuro/psychiatric examination of easy child/difficult child shows that he should be a shoo in for SSDI. That Doctor does not believe he can work and support himself. on the other hand I can not imagine how really debilitating it would be as the age of 20 to just receive checks and not seek a career of sorts. I'm at the beginning of this road so I'm not sure how you can "earn" but also be "incapable of earning". Guess I'll find out sooner or later. That is wonderful that she has taken the initiative. Independent actions are so much more benefiticial. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
