<p>wow dmd!! i think u just said what i was trying to say! on behalf of my disabled son…ty:) I think you put that together very well…as I babble along in life…lol.</p>
<p>my experience has always been so positive while my son was in HS. the shock (more for him…I was prepared) was…what happens now? Mom??? ugh…he is 22 now…and still asking me the same question! I’m in the process of swtiching him from DVR to DDD (disability rehab vocational) (dept of developmental disabilities)…the first one is there to help our child work…but no on is even slightly interested…there hasn’t been a call since before xmas…so…while his bro and sis are off at college…we planned to find a “job” for d3…life isnt working that way…</p>
<p>We now have to take him out of the DVR program…(the one that makes him a prosective employee) into the program that has no expectations of having them work</p>
<p>Now…he’ll be eligible to go to the gym…to help out at a nursing home…loads of things…unpaid!</p>
<p>paid in a skewed way by DDD?</p>
<p>If there is someone who can actually make this make sense…I’ll be grateful
i KNOW the diff between ddd and dvr, …oy vey…its sad that it is so hard</p>
<p>bottom line is…the most my son will (can earn) is less then $500 a month…YA think i’m trying to scam the government? lol…someone did say that to me!!
arghh</p>
