Your Child Is Nearing Adulthood…
Some Things to Think About
ELIGIBILITY VS. ENTITLEMENT
One of the biggest changes that you will experience is that your child will need to become eligible for adult services and then apply for each service. There is no guarantee of eligibility, acceptance, or placement. Applying for eligibility early is highly recommended. You may receive some services now while your child is in school if you are eligible.
