Getting Disabled and Displaced back work

Hi everyone,
Well here we are at the holidays again. I have been very busy here at the Academy. The community programs I am helping to develop here are really helping people to expand there skills in an effort to work and be self sufficient. Especially great is the Ticket to work program.
I have learned so much about social security and found a lot of resources for disabled. The goal of the ticket program is to help people in the community to work or earn money and still keep SSI or SSD benefits. I help people learn academic content and pre-workforce soft skills, but also link them with real-world work experience through participation in our community service programs: Distance Learning Programs, KidTech Program, Community Computer Academy, Recycling center, Work Readiness Ticket to work program. Just to name a few. It find it really surprising the number of disabled that want to work. I can help them get around there disability and expand on their abilities which makes me feel great. Not to mention how the community feels.
I have been part of a project that provides community assistive technology and educational outreach to the community and faith based organizations that we work with. I help provide AT educational services to these organizations both on site and by remote distance learning I am managing Ticket to Work project.
I am learning myself and teaching Assistive Technology software and hardware. It’s very rewarding. I love what I do and hope I can expand my skills to become expertly proficient in them.
