?

My boy will be at his high school, in the life skills program until he is 21 years of age. I will need to continue with a job like I currently have, until at least that time, so I can be home to get him off the bus every day. 

But what happens after he turns 21? He's not likely to have the capacity to have a job. He will live with me. There's a very good chance he will still be incontinent. Will he sit at home alone and play on his iPad, while I work? At the age of 16, he can't be left alone. Will 21 look very different? 

Yes, these are the things that keep me up at night. 

One of my son's teachers sent a link to this article last week. https://www.panoramitalia.com/en/life-people/profiles/special-school-learning-strive-galileo-adult-education-centre/4126/ We, as a parent/educator group are brain storming ideas about how to implement this kind of program. It would make a world of difference.
