[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 516062, member: 2315"] I understand that you have done much research and are exhaused. I have two handicapped children that I adopted although neither is blind. I found that working at a local basis was much more productive than seeking state or federal assistance in obtaining the many services they needed along the way. I also know that the wealth of services does wan as they grow up. That said, I am wondering if maybe there are county services and programs that help a person like your daughter live within a supervised environment and will also help her achieve the independance she needs. My difficult child#2 is BMR and there was a program that was designed to give him work and shelter and social activities with the opportunity for his own apartment if he progressed. This program was offered at our county level. I am not sure if there are similar programs for the legally blind in your area but there are here. Maybe call your local MHMR office and just ask if there are such services. They might be able to direct you to a suitable program. [/QUOTE]
