[QUOTE="Suz, post: 113758, member: 29"] I agree that it's important to recognize what he is - and isn't - capable of doing before you plan your next steps. He has some pretty complex diagnosis's- is he able to manage them in an appropriate fashion? Has he ever held a job? If yes, how did that go? What does he want to do? Is he getting any training for the future? Or career counseling? Does he drive? Have a car? Know how to get around on mass transportation? Can he read a bus schedule? A map? If the answer is no to the above, I would talk to him about using this next year as a preparation year for his next big step...being independent. Putting plans on paper and posting the results in an open place (refrig door?) helps everyone stay on track. It would be ideal if you could get together as a family and plan this informally together, and get his "buy-in" before you have to resort to a contract and consequences, etc. Suz [/QUOTE]
