Students with disabilities often need individualized career, benefit and residential planning. This presentation will provide an overview of benefit planning (SSI, SSD, Medicaid/Medicare). Representatives from the NYS Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities (VESID) and the NYS Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD), as well as a Social Security Benefits Specialist will be available to answer your questions and provide you with all the necessary resources. VESID and OMRDD (which provide funding for both vocational and residential services) will explain the role their agencies play to promote and include persons with disabilities in the areas of employment and post-secondary education.
For further information and/or to reserve a seat please call Suffolk SETRC 631-473-1397
