Should I allow my disabled teen to live away from home? - home wheelchair lifts
She wants to go to a special place with 24 / 7 assistants.
I do not like the idea. One group is missing budget more accessible to wheelchairs and have the staff and the elevators, etc., but not their home. Suggestions?

I do not see why not, you'll feel just the same independence as other teenagers. You make friends and feel better when she is able to lead a life away from you and not to be dependent. This proves he can be very surprised. You can always go home and when you say you could not put a huge barrier between them. I think it has something to do.

I do not think I can do. Adolescence is too young, under normal circumstances. I want to be concerned primarily about their safety. Nobody cares about your children as we do.
Not my proposal.
It was a high school student who has cerebral palsy myself very seriously. It is) now (20 odd years later, a professor at the University is highly valued, and (last I heard), two PhD degrees!
Let her go, but as a backup.
You will not live forever.
I think if you really want to leave home and go get the care they need, then release it. But I always remember that at all times when they return to work or if they are unhappy. Even if it is disabled, it is still a teenager and want their independence. Sounds like it could be difficult for you May you join. Give it a try, but be prepared to take to your home, if that's what he wants. Good luck.
When she 18, she's gone! Be free!
Well, I do not say how old I am assuming that during adolescence .. So, if your will must be the most important consideration, if not the money.
One day, it is not there for them, you have a developmental disability center, where you can get to learn on their own lives. You can come to the aid agreement with him, but I doubt you can get 24-7. Sometimes it can be a live-in care than their more expensive food and lodging free. I know that a quad has lived on his own years ago, and he is in his early 60s.

Of course, you should try it. I know your concerns, but I moved when I was 18, and I did well (I have spina bifida) places, group homes are terrible, because it is not really independent. I know that my disability is not as serious as yours, but everyone deserves a chance in our state, our own lives.
I have PC and a wheelchair, I saw myself. There are always things to note when you move ...
Here are some things to my parents and I saw before I move.
1. Outside school
2. If SSI / SSDI and need help on this matter and / or get a job.
3. Is a responsible and mature for his age.
4. How do you handle money? (If you have a current account)
5. Transportation, she knows how to take the bus or ring transported in a convoy to organize ADA disabilities.
If your child does not know some or all of these things, there are utilities.
When I left, asked my parents to stay in school and get a roommate. In the case of her daughter, that sounds like a Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (Personal Care Assistant) is an option. It was also a demand from the parents when I pass by. (I live 5 miles from my parents in the neighborhood, but not too close.) So, if in an emergency, that my parents always have a support system.
If yourDaughter has no basis from. So I say, WIAT. But Gound develop the work with her astablish. Set goals.
Example: To open a checking account. Suppose you have SSI and is the recipient, you are given a fixed amount per month ($ 100) you can do what he wants. The monitor for 3-6 months after Revist question.
It took a year and a half years to convince my parents that I was ready to leave the nest. First, add a bit of independence should. But do it in stages to set goals.
You can try.
He let me try and see how you like. I met a man with cerebral palsy who had his own apartment, driving and had a great job.
I would think that life can be supported, what you want. The disabled adult has access to personal support workers and staff with appropriate food, clothing, care of the hair to help bath, etc.
Instead of trying to keep your daughter, I think I would applaud his desire to show their independence. You know it will always be there to help and that they tried to show their integrity and independence.
If she gets no help because it take an adult in the situation, if you want. The social worker or rehabilitation worker VOC and refine details.
Time to loosen the reins of the mother and the control, if the decision is wrong, you learn to do better next time.
I think it is for them to gain a degree of independence wonderful. There will always be there to support me in it - and it is a good way to start while you are always available to help if needed.
Yes, if you finance it, and it would be great. Living independently can make disabled people feel like others. a group can work from home when training programs and programs to help them find work, transport and employment.
I think in this way depends on the age of young people and the nature and severity of the disability ... It would be irresponsible for some advice to know anything more than what you said to give ...
EDIT: Because of your age, you may have some options. In truth, the absolute worst of what a disabled person for a person not be treated differently ... Or at least more different, it is absolutely justified. I know it's easy for you, taking into account their disability, I assume you do for them in a capacity far more than the average mother, but when you try to tempt the degree of control that allows at least not on their own, which will do little but adverse effects on their relationship in the long run. It must be as normal as one can feel assess their condition.
Perhaps a "compromise" could achieve? Maybe you could help us to a place close enough that you are there when necessary. One can understand that you are over them and accept themProposal. Just do not depart from it by pressing too hard or try to impose their will on him. Parents and children have lost the links for much less ...
Good luck
I agree with mystryfann, let it gradually.
I love you enough to let you go
But let fly too much.
Let him know that you will always be there for them,
No matter what.
