LERAYSVILLE, Pa. -- Justin Shaffer is a tall, strong boy. He wears a nice class ring and will graduate from high school next year. His life is just starting.
But Justin and his family don't know what the future holds. The young man has intellectual challenges and attends special education classes at Northeast Bradford. A few years ago, Justin could have been confident government programs would help him after graduation. Today, he can't.
And Justin isn't alone.
