Abstract

Technology has been shown to enhance daily activities, increase participation in individualized planning and supports, and accommodate the transition needs of students with disabilities. This study examined the benefits and challenges regarding technology use when providing transition services for youth and families receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Specifically, it explored the nuances of employing technology to encourage engagement in Wisconsin Promoting the Readiness of Minors in Supplemental Security Income (WI PROMISE) services and foster communication between counselors and participants. This qualitative study used a constant comparative method for analyzing data collected through two focus groups of WI PROMISE counselors. Counselors identified technology as essential to maintaining contact with WI PROMISE participants as well as extant barriers including inconsistent access to the internet, financial expense, and insufficient training and support. Recommendations for using technology to communicate with transition-age youth and their families will be discussed.

技术和沟通的考虑参与青年接受补充安全收入(SSI)的好处:职业康复顾问的观点

技术已被证明可以增强日常活动，增加对个性化规划和支持的参与，并适应残疾学生的过渡需求。本研究考察了在为接受补充安全收入(SSI)福利的青少年和家庭提供过渡服务时使用技术的好处和挑战。具体来说，它探讨了采用技术来鼓励参与威斯康星州促进未成年人准备补充安全收入(WI承诺)服务的细微差别，并促进辅导员和参与者之间的沟通。本定性研究采用了一种持续比较的方法来分析通过WI PROMISE咨询师的两个焦点小组收集的数据。咨询师认为，技术是与WI PROMISE参与者保持联系的关键，同时也存在一些障碍，包括上网不稳定、财务费用、培训和支持不足。将讨论利用技术与过渡年龄青年及其家庭进行交流的建议。

期刊介绍： Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB) publishes articles on rehabilitation counseling with a major emphasis on data-based research reports, although other types of contributions to professional knowledge in rehabilitation counseling will be considered. Examples include articles that explain an innovative technique or application, point/ counterpoint debates on a current controversy challenging the profession, or insightful essays on an important issue. Contributions of these kinds may be considered for a special section of RCB. Article topics cover a wide range—from ethical dilemmas related to counseling clients with HIV/AIDS to clinical problem solving in micro–case management.
