Ryan Holtan

Blink and it’s 2023, and Ryan, 22 will complete his high school program graduating from Rock Island High School and Tyler, 21 has one year left at Black Hawk Center. This brings many questions from our family and friends about what’s next. Free Services provided by the State of IL or government ends, i.e., school programming. Day programs, job coaches and every other program cost money to attend or participate in. Since both boys have high support needs (intellectual disabilities, communication language challenges & behavioral outbursts) getting a job isn’t really an option without having a 1 on 1 support worker which we would have to pay. The plan is to have the boys help more with the food pantry, like stocking, loading, & making boxes. I will continue to keep the boys living at my home as long as I can care for them. This will ensure the best care possible. I am following Scott & my plans, even though so much has changed since he died of Covid two years ago. ~ Anne Holtan
