[QUOTE="lmf64, post: 588591, member: 7736"] Yes, he's already finished 12th grade and can/must be in the transition through June after his 21st birthday, still 2 years away. Someone brought up at the meeting that maybe what we need to be working on in pre-vocation learning, and because we've had so many meetings in the last 5 years (at least 8 per school year) I think we all know that him buying into what is presented to him is the biggest IF. For three years now he's worked with a local business/non-profit that pays him a wage for working. They can't fire him as long as he's a student, but if he graduates there's no more job for him. If he goes to the other program or back to the high school he won't be getting paid to do the pre-vocation learning that he possibly skipped and I don't know if he'll participate/cooperate if he's not getting paid. I think for the rest of this school year at least, if he decides to go back to work at the jobsite he's worked at on and off for the last three years they'll put him back there (even though it's slow). I don't know if he'll go back there though. He asked to try a different job a couple weeks ago and they jumped on it, got him set to try the other job the next day. Well, he didn't like the job on day one because he had a new supervisor who was trying to teach him how to do the job and had him redo parts a few times. I convinced him that one day wasn't a fair trial. He went back the next day and he decided he didn't want to work that job, so they put him back at the former site. Well, they supervisor at the site didn't know he was coming back until he was there and was joking around with him, saying something about being a whiney baby who only wants to work with her (I do believe it was joking and he probably laughed at the time). Minutes later he called me crying because he didn't need to be treated that way and wasn't going to put up with someone calling him a baby so he quit (but like I said I'm 99% sure they'll put him back there if he decides to work again). He always had a good relationship with his supervisor before this, I'm hoping he'll calm down and want to go back soon. :smile: [/QUOTE]
