[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639258, member: 1550"] Ok...we were told to start planning for adult services when Sonic was 14. No joke there. We really didn't have any doubt that he'd get them. Certain diagnoses get them as does a qualified professional or two writing out an evaluation that states what kind of environment Child will need as an adult. Has your daughter ever seen a neuropsychologist? If not, they write awesome evaluations, very detailed, with suggestions and definite diagnoses. I assume your daughter's TBS has a psychiatrist on staff though who could write the diagnosis and suggestions for the future. I don't think it is as hard to get Disability for a child who has had chronic problems from early on, especially if cognitive issues are also part of the problem. The services available to your daughter are not often spoken about, but I'm sure TBS knows what to do next. If not, I'd make an appointment with Aging and Disabilities to find out what is available and how to apply. Like all bureaucracy there are certain steps you have to take and it does get tedious, but it's really worth it. I hope this house. Post again if you have other questions. To the best of my ability I'll try to help. [/QUOTE]
