Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 I wish I did. I " m on the hunt though not as intensely as I " m sure you are. As the " top " of the limitations seems to lift, I worry those of us at the other end of the spectrum will be forgotten.Our kids learn all their lives too. j --- sara cohen wrote: > Do you know of a site for schools for our aging out > 221 yo?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 Sara, I don't know of a central site, but I do know of a few here in the Houston area. Maybe we should start a site! If everyone here knows of a couple in their area we could build something truly useful to the community. sara cohen wrote: Do you know of a site for schools for our aging out 221 yo?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 I only FEEL 221. I meant to type 21 yo. I have found some residential villages but I would like to know if there are other options possible. Elie could do with another few years of school . After all, the main definition for RETARDED is S L O W !! He has learned so much this year and will learn more this coming year, but he needs more time to become more functional.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Posted August 2, 2006 In Houston, The Center Serving Persons with Mental Retardation has a vocational training program downtown, as well as a daycare type program for lower-functioning adults. There is also a program called REACH which I believe does some vocational programs. The private school my daughter attends is called The Arbor, and it is in their plans when they expand in the next couple of years to have a job progam for adults with disabilities too, making tiles or something like that. The Brookwood Community in hire, TX has some residential, and some day workers, they grow garden products and pottery stuff. sara cohen wrote: I only FEEL 221. I meant to type 21 yo.
