OP - I can sense your frustration and since you indicated that your son is age 18, it is not surprising to me when I learned last weekend that FCPS do not have a separate and specialized Post High Program with services tailored to meet the needs of students age 18-22 who will not receive a regular high school diploma and who are most in need of connecting to adult services and community programs.

You still have time to help your son if you can in a realistic way look at whether your son in two years would choose to and be able to work competitively part-time or full time, find a part-time or full-time volunteer placement or participate in a center-based day program which might mean supported employment.  Also looking at the cost of any support services to make one or more of these options possible, including transportation.  In many cases it can be a combination of the above as well as being able to be in one's home safely for a period of time pursuing personal interests.  If you are not familiar with the agency below you may want to talk to them to see if it might be a resource for later and also to get ideas on what to advocate for in the next two years of public educaiton.

JFGH, a non-sectarian 501c3 non-profit, is proud to offer the Sally and Robert Goldberg MOST™ Program in Maryland and Virginia.

Meaningful Opportunities for Successful Transitions (MOSTTM) is a one year individualized program of activities and training designed to facilitate successful transition into the adult community. The MOSTTM program serves as a portal for individuals and their families, through which they are introduced and integrated into a broad range of community resources. The MOSTTM program focuses on facilitating outcomes for participants in three domains:

Self-sufficiency — including self-help, independent living and safety skills.
    Community  — including social skills, transportation and recreation.
    Vocation — including employment, education, vocational training and day habilitation.

At the MOSTTM Program, individuals use one year to focus on developing, improving or maintaining life skills needed to establish a transition plan that ensures successful integration into the adult community.  Participants meet  and when they are not working, taking classes or out in the community. Goldberg Virginia MOST™ Program is located in the Fairfax Circle shopping center in Fairfax, VA.
