I need to find advocacy to transfer my adult son from AFH in Washington to my home in Portland, Oregon.

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Portland, OR

He is 22 and hasn't lived with me since he was 9 yrs. He is high functioning and I have years of volunteer service and training awaiting the day he could come home but haven't found anyone to help me so that I don't ruin his benefits in haste or lack of knowledge of the laws. He is his own guardian and I am his payee. I am still fairly new to Portland and never contemplated that he couldn't just move in when he wants to...he has waited too long already :{

All states have a disability law center and PTC. I would start with them. They should know the laws.
