[quote=Anonymous] True about the Waiting Lists, but one needs to get on it so that in the worst case scenario there would be funding for a disabled adult child and a framwork ofnservices to provide for the disabled adullt child. Likewse, we got Active Case Management not so much for us, but if there was a common disaster so her guardians (her two sisters) would have a starting point to figure things out as needed. We did this once the oldest was 18. Also we always have had two levels of Estate Executor, Trustee of the SNT, Guardians etc. For many years until the girls reached their mid-30s, it was always a sibling of mine or my husband. Now my youngest brother and SIL who is a lawyer serve an advisory role on the SNT. People die, get sick, move away or may have other pressuresin their lives come so this is why two levels makes sense. Sometimes if the estate is large enough one can have a bank trust officer or even one's lawyer serve in some capacity, especiallynifbone does not have other options. One thing vocational services for individuals with a disabilty serve a wide range of adults. [b]funding for vocational services come from separate federal vocational funding streams so if one is able to work and wants to do so, please sign up at age 18. As I indicated one can get services the last semester in school. Listed the work incentive of the Student Earned Income Exclusion as some families fear DC might lose their benefits if theyngonto work.[/b] [/quote]
