[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all for the helpful feedback. 15:00, Can you explain more what a "vocation sequence" entails? My son's case is really complicated and sort of a catch-22. IF he can continue receiving the level of service he has in place now up until and past his transition out of high school, it is possible he could attend college, but highly doubtful it would be a traditional 4 year college for many reasons. The ideal situation in his case would be if he could get into a "transitional program" in a residential setting, but in order to get the school district to fund that it would be a humungous ordeal. I do know for a fact that kids in my son's situation are funded for these programs while they are still technically in high school, however, none that I have heard of so far are from Northern VA, and in our case, FFX. The other huge challenge is that he is high functioning intellectually, but impaired in other areas that make it necessary for him to have a lot of assistance in the classroom. His executive functioning, visual-spatial, and processing speed are in the very low percentiles.

The vocational programs I have checked into so far are for kids/young adults who are much lower functioning then my son, and that would be really tough because he desperately needs a peer group he can relate to and engage with.

Sorry I'm rambling, it's all really overwhelming trying to process all of the information coming at me and trying to determine how to get through this mess![/quote]
