[quote=Anonymous]OP? please post in the special needs forum. there are more people there who have had kids in this situation. AS another PP says, a lot depends on the kind of disability, but a job may be an option - either supported or unsupported by a job coach or training. There are also day programs disabled adults can participate in if they can’t work. There may be camps or art or music programs. My friend has an autistic brother in his 50s. He has lived happily in a supported home environment, independent of his family, but they visit a lot. He has a paid companion (not the sexual kind) who spends time with him and helps him do things in the community - sometimes things like groceries and medical appointments and sometimes just regular things like going to the pool. I think the county disability office is an entry point for finding out about these kinds of programs[/quote]
