One place that I went looking for help in our journey with Sharon is toward online groups. Yahoo was the place, in particular, that I went searching (I have also searched LinkedIn, but not too many other places at the moment).
I found this group, IPADDUnited (Illinois Parents of Adults with Developmental Disabilities). They are a pretty active online group that shares resources, keeps each other updated on the politics and more.
I have just been lurking in this group. Their journeys focus quite a bit on young adults who are transitioning out of high school and into adulthood. And they seem to have more information about resources in the 'burbs of Chicago. But they definitely run the whole range of ages and developmental needs. So they are definitely worth checking out.
If you are interested in keeping up with what is happening for people with disabilities legislatively...they have a pretty good handle on this and some great resources.
