Transition Talks Tuesdays: Disability Work Benefits: Navigating Work and Public Benefits

Having a job increases self-esteem, brings in income, supports social development and so much more! Yet, it can be tricky working and receiving support. Luckily there are Work Benefits Specialists who can help.

Transition Talks Tuesdays (TTT) is presented by the Youth Health Transition Initiative, and is a series of workshops throughout fall 2024 on different transition topics. 

Registration is open; you can register for one or more workshops.

The Wisconsin Youth Health Transition Initiative aims to make healthcare transition easier for youth with special healthcare needs in Wisconsin. We do this by developing and sharing healthcare transition resources with families and healthcare providers. We also work with healthcare providers to support best practice transition care for patients with disabilities and special healthcare needs.

Our Initiative is based out of the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Waisman Center. We believe all families (including the self-advocate) deserve the best information possible so they can make their own decisions. TTT is one way we encourage transition to be integrated across all parts of life.

We thank the Autism Society Affiliates of Wisconsin (Greater Wisconsin, South Central Wisconsin, Southeastern Wisconsin) and the Children’s Resource Center-South for their partnership in the Fall 2024 edition of Transition Talks Tuesdays.
