Many families are worried about what will happen to their children when they are no longer here to provide the support they have given. Who will ensure a good quality life, overseeing: a nice place to live, eating and sleeping properly, treatment, medication, and encouraging social activity...? We will explore possible options, i.e. forming a cooperative.
