Social Security's Ticket to Work attends the National Transition Conference
Last week the Ticket to Work team attended the National Transition Conference: College and Career for Youth with Disabilities in Washington, DC. Approximately 750 people from the transition communities, Employment Networks (ENs), Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies (VRs), young adults, and family members gathered to learn more about opportunities for young adults with disabilities to become self-sufficient.
Nearly 100 people visited the Ticket to Work exhibit booth during the two-hour Poster Session where attendees received the latest information about the program including:
- Wallet cards containing website and Call Center information;
- Megan Riggs Success Story;
- Youth Transition slick sheet with information on how to improve the transition from school to adult life with specific Work Incentives targeted to young adults with disabilities.

It's great to see SSA/TIcket to Work engaging the transition community. In order to give transitioning youth with disabilities every opportunity to make employment a part of their plan for a rewarding, maximally inclusive, independent adult life, collaborations between leaders in the fields of employment and transition empowerment for people with disabilities promises to be a winning combination for everyone!
Thank you for your comment.
