Hi AlwaysMom,
Welcome to FamilyHub.
I have a brother with severe Learning Disabilities who is 53 years old, so he has been in the system for a long time now.
Earlier today I was looking at the Care Act factsheets by gov.uk. When I read your post I remembered seeing Factsheet 11: Transition for children to adult care and support.
You may already be aware of it but in case you’re not it is available at the following weblink:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/care-act-2014-part-1-factsheets/care-act-factsheets#factsheet-11-transition-for-children-to-adult-care-and-support
It might be worth a read as your son is currently transitioning.
Best wishes, Ang1e
