Agree.. Which is why I stated “The problem is, by what I can tell, none of these would allow Abbie to work and live in them. They require that the person go through VR services and be able to handle some independent direction without complete oversight constantly...”But as Stripe69 says, Abbie is too IDD to be able to fulfil any useful function as she has nil attention span and would need constant supervision. She cant lay a table, cant peel vegetables, cant clean effectively so sadly would probably not be accepted into such a community.
There is no way, at Abbie’s current state, she would qualify for what JSA has long term plans for.. They would not be able to supply constant 1-on-1 care, which Abbie needs. Sadly, she probably is almost up to 2-on-1 care, which is really sad, when you think about it..
I have been to Autism camps, our State has a few and my kids attended them. They have set requirements and I still dont think Abbie could have attended,with her severe IDD..They can handle a lot too but gosh, Abbie takes the cake (literally and figuratively)... They do a lot of 1-on-1 care for each camper but by what I can tell on the vlogs, Abbie has to have either someone that can respond quickly to her or have two people on her, to keep her out of trouble and safe..
