[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should post this on the SN forum.  [i]There are a lot of agencies (public and private) that can help[/i][b] but he should already be receiving services, money, etc even if she is caring for him at home.  Are the disabilities mental or physical or both?  Hasn't she made plans for this day? Are they local and if so which state?[/quote]

People always think this.  Get real.[/quote]

I am that pp and also the mother of a 5yr old with SN and I have already begun preparing for the day when I am not around for my DC.  Something is wrong if the the aunt has not planned for this day.  There are social service orgs, group homes, Social Security payments, possibly family trust arrangements... Your aunt failed her kid if she did not plan for this.[/quote]

So, if the aunt has no assets and no resources to plan with she "failed" her kid.  Great reasoning. And please feel free to post  a list of all the group homes with openings and all the great social service organizations you are relying on to take on your kid full-time.  I would love to know which ones are currently accepting severely disabled adults with no resources.  [/quote]

She probably wasn't able to work because she was devoting so much time to caring for this kid. [/quote]
