[quote=Anonymous]We're in the same boat. DS is also 19 and has a rare disease that comes with an intellectual disability, a plethora of medical issues, and some mild behaviors. We hired a special needs lawyer and have talked with some organizations just to get a feel for what is out there. Our lawyer also mentioned he always recommends someone who is like an advocate but for this stage of the game. Someone mentioned in one of the posts of making sure the burden doesn't fall on the sibling and I couldn't agree more. The special needs lawyer pointed this out to us. Also, the school my DS goes to has an awesome transition coordinator. If this is something your child has, that's another resource to use. It's all so overwhelming. I remember way back when thinking looking at preschools was overwhelming (which it was at the time) but this is a whole other ballgame. [/quote]
