Expand your network and explore community supports.

As your son or daughter becomes an adult, he or she may need support from a variety of sources. Who do you know in your family, friends, professional circle, religious community who could help provide social, recreational, work or volunteer experiences? Look to adults in the community who have the same disability as your son or daughter to learn what kinds of supports they use.
