Family Involvement

NTACT defines parent(s) or family involvement as parent(s)/families/guardian are active and knowledgeable participants in all aspects of transition planning (e.g., decision-making, providing support, attending meetings, and advocating for their child).

NTACT disseminates resources to guide practices that are developed from the best available evidence of effectiveness. Throughout our website resources developed directly from the research are indicated as Evidence-Based, Research-Based, or Promising.

Benefits Planning Information

Benefits Planning is a service which provides Social Security beneficiaries with information regarding the interaction of Earned Income and Social Security benefits. A Certified Work Incentives Counselor (CWIC) can provide individualized information based on a beneficiary’s specific situation.

State Resources

The State of Rhode Island has numerous resources to help families be more involved in the planning process for transition. Below are the primary state resources, should you choose to engage them.
