Product Description:
A handbook providing guidance for school personnel, youth with disabilities, parents, IEP/transition team members, adult service providers, and others who are involved in student-focused transition planning. It is intended to serve as a resource for understanding how Supplemental Security Income (SSI) work incentives can be included in the IEP/transition plan for students who have paid employment through a community-based vocational education program in high school. It is also useful as they begin to work or plan for further training upon graduation. This publication was jointly developed by The Study Group, North Carolina; the SSI Work Incentives and Transition Youth Project at the Institute on Community Integration; and the National Transition Network.
