[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 321022, member: 1514"] I realize he is only 19 but is it possible he has more skills than you realize? I think you really need to start applying for disability for him now because I think it is only a matter of time before he gets dumped from this program. He will need that safety net at that time. He can use the disability for basic living expenses. Explore what is available either near you or maybe your parents for disabled people such as low income apartments. Can you get him on a waiting list now? If he comes to live in your city and has disability and can get into a low income place...then you can think about voc rehab. They can help him with things such as a GED or high school diploma. They can help with job coach or job training. We can work this out slowly if you get him on disability and find him a place to stay. Disability first...place to live second. [/QUOTE]
