[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happened in the transition planning meetings?

Would the library recommend her for a paying job, whether inside the library system or elsewhere? [/quote]

IDK about the library, but she refused to participate in the transition plan entirely. You just couldn’t get her to talk honestly about her future no matter what she did.[/quote]
Doesn't sound like you think she has a future. You want her to get quick free money.
She graduated from high school and volunteered. Yet you think she in not capable of anything.[/quote]

Sounds like you don't know how SSI works.  It's definitely not quick.  It's also not much.  Op, if your kid needs SSI, she has to have less than $2k in assets.  If she needs SSI, she probably needs a place to live--waitlist for a group home.[/quote]
Why can't she live with her mom? Presumably, she has been living there for 18 years.[/quote]

Group homes are for adults who cannot live independently due to an intellectual disability, not for adults who have no other place to live. We have housing vouchers, section 8, etc. for adults to have a home.[/quote]
