[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 476265, member: 8831"] have you explored applying for SSI for her? i dont know all the specifics anymore, but being out of the home may change the requirements for a minor and take the family income/resource limits out of the picture. the monthly money may be insignificant, but in some states that qualifies her for medicaid, which might open up some additional placement ideas. also, have you contacted your school district to see what their responsibility may be? presumably she should still be receiving some kind of education--its conceivable that the LRE *is* out of district/home placement. i'd personally look around for an advocate and pick their brain on both district responsibility and additional placement ideas. since you mention congnitive disabilities, it would be worth seeing if she qualifies for your Division of Developmental Disabilities, and worth a phone call to your local ARC. all may be things you've done, things you've tried, or a big old shot in the dark...but i'd suggest that even if you've called umpteen places before, its time to revisit all of them. hope that helps some--welcome!
