Have you talk to your high school guidance counselor
Since he higher functioning my son is a bit lower
My son is no verbal but talk with rpm board
My son is also in 12 grade but he going to a general
Transation I don’t know your state but
Put in the general program and Work with the team
To set up what he needs
You should go visit a few transition places
For Illinois. Clearbrook agency has a program
I think

NSSED has the general transition program

You need job interviewing skills

Job coaching

Good luck

Since you are in Illinois, there is a program out of Highland Park called http://aspiritech.org that will train HFA to do software QA and also employ them. I'm not sure if that is the type of thing you are looking for. I grew up in the Chicago area and if I were still up there, I would look into the program.

There are also college programs that are oriented specifically for students on the spectrum. I believe ECU has such a program and SIU is also supposed to have a terrific program, if I recall correctly.

The thing I'm finding, though is that for guys like ours, it is almost like they are stuck in the middle: They are too high functioning to qualify for many of these life skills certificate programs but not functioning enough to send off to college.

Hope this helps some. Good luck!

He's not placed at his home high school. We know he needs coaching in interview skills. We know he needs reminders for other aspects of employment. We know he needs help with finance management (personal). What we don't know is if his home school has an appropriate program. We do have an appointment with his case manager and academic adviser/guidance counselor on the 10th. I just dont know exactly what to ask for.
