Disability Benefits 

Disability benefits play a crucial role in supporting students with disabilities as they transition into adulthood. These benefits, which may include Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), provide financial assistance and often serve as a gateway to other support services. For transitioning students, understanding and navigating the benefits system is an important part of planning for independent living and career development. The transition from child to adult disability benefits can impact eligibility criteria and benefit amounts, making it essential for students, families, and educators to be informed about these changes. Additionally, some benefit programs offer work incentives and educational support that can significantly aid in a student's transition to higher education, vocational training, or employment while maintaining necessary supports.
