[QUOTE="Suz, post: 113851, member: 29"] If I didn't know better, I'd swear that what you've written about your difficult child was one of my old posts from a few years ago about Rob. [url]http://www.panicla.com/pages/wi_anx.html[/url] Well, here are a few links to get you started researching ILP (Independent Living Programs) in Indiana if you want to get a head's up to what is involved now. A similar program was offered to Rob when he got out of the group home but he turned it down and had a heck of a time for a few years. Is there anything you can use as a carrot for him to cooperate with learning some independent skills now? You might not want him to drive but would you be willing to let him get a learner's permit? If he was jazzed about that you could use driving time as a bribe for his cooperation in other areas. Can you rope him into "helping" you cook a meal a week? Exposing him to putting something together with you there for supervision might have some effect. Big sigh. I sure don't envy you these next few years. Suz [/QUOTE]
