Look for non profit organizations in your area. The majority work with people who have disabilities. You might have to work with a variety of special needs, I don't know if they have where you can work with a specific disability.
-
Have you tried the local social services? You are a good person for wanting to help like this. Your son is a lucky guy to have a great mom like you. I am sure it is challenging.
-
Have you tried local schools or day programs for the mentally handicapped? Or tried volunteering with the special olympics? Both great jobs! I did them both before I started working at the local hospital. It was the best job I ever had! Good luck!

Your insight would be very good as a teachers aide. they do not make a whole lot but you would have the same hours, holidays, etc, as your son. Benefits are usually good too and many schools have programs to help pay for aides to become teachers if they want to.

Look for a teacher's aid job. It may allow a kid to become mainstreamed and out of Special Ed, which usually is inappropriate as an awful lot have normal or above normal I.Q.'s.
