[quote=Anonymous]I think it's worth considering why it matters--for employment? For your own peace of mind? So he feels like he has a goal for going to school? Each has their own solution. If he can't do a HS diploma (and it's probably too early to know) then he might be able to get a GED. It might take him a long time, but that's ok. And most employers will accept a GED in place of a HS diploma. You may want to look at Quality Trust and the ARC, which serve people with ID and their families: http://www.dcqualitytrust.org/ and http://arcdc.net are the DC locations. I bet they could give you some good advice and support over the years to come. One thing you'll want to think about is how to ensure he has the care he needs (and it's hard to know now what care that is) when you are older or pass away. Quality Trust and ARC might be able to help you start planning. Your county probably also has a Dept. of Disability Services or something similar with a vocational rehabilitation program. There are a lot of different programs out there for folks with ID to live independently, work, etc. [/quote]
