this was for transition planning, being you can have an iep til age 21 and the expense, you will probably need the lea to pay for them one way or another

Gersh Experience:

My son was at Gersh prior to the current director.

The two residences they own are in a very suburban neighborhood and totally
isolated from each other. The kids also eat and study in yet another location and go to two different schools -- Damon College and Erie Community College which are both at least a 20 minute ride on the expressway into yet another town.
He was vanned everywhere and didn't like it because he wanted a dormitory experience on a campus.
His roommate was into sports and he wasn't and also went to the other schoool so my son was left in a little tiny apartment in a "dorm" where he eventually was told he couldn't bring his girlfriend. They broke up so it didn't matter but there was no place in the building to socialize and the kids didn't invite each other into their apartments.
He was increasingly isolated from the others in the program and didn't go on their rare weekend trips.
He did benefit from the tutoring every night after dinner and worked hard at his classes.
But he also was teased, and was different from the kids at Erie Community College, which is an inner city school with inner city issues.

We decided to pull him out of there.

It was stressful but he learned to fly on Jet Blue from the new terminal 5 at JFK.

Jet Blue always allowed me to get a pass to walk him to the gate and to meet him at the gate. {i told them he was handicapped with emotional issues and no one ever freaked or asked for a doctor's note, you just have to get there extra early to get the paperwork done and have your own photo id to get through the security line]

I made other arrangements at a local college for him this year and he lived home.

Actually, SLD, a student can have an IEP until age 22, not 21. However, once the student graduates HS, with a diploma, an IEP (and special education funding for any program) is no longer an option.

in, pa, 21 or 22, depending when your birthday is with the school year
