OBJECTIVES
Trainees should gain an understanding of the cash benefits and health care
programs that serve – and limit- people with disabilities
Trainees should become aware of how work affects these cash benefits and
health care programs
Trainees should gain a knowledge of resources available to their consumers
to enable them to transition smoothly from dependence on government
programs to self-sufficiency
Trainees should become aware of the need to empower consumers through
making them aware of information sources, and putting them in touch with
advocacy groups affecting the programs that serve them.
