Joy, If you have anymore questions, please feel free to ask. Don't mean to scare you, but be prepared to fight for what you need! I was in a similar situation when I graduated high school. I went to a Special Ed school for part of the day and a regular school the other part. My main school, the one I was involved with the most, was the Special Ed school. Most of the students there wouldn't be going on to college. Either they would stay at home or go to a sheltered invironment. Only like a handful of us students would actually go out into the "real world." We had to learn those skills of self-advocacy for ourselves.
