Transitioning to retirement can be a daunting experience, especially for those with disabilities, including intellectual disabilities. The 'Transition to Retirement' (TTR) manual is a comprehensive guide designed to assist older employees in navigating this significant life change towards an active and socially inclusive lifestyle. Emphasizing social inclusion and personal development, this program aligns with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and the National Disability Strategy, ensuring that individuals are supported in building community participation and independence post-retirement.
This brand-new manual, published by Sydney University Press in 2013, provides practical strategies and insights tailored to the unique challenges faced by retirees with disabilities. It helps to identify new interests, acquire skills, and develop social networks necessary for a fulfilling retirement. Accompanied by an informative DVD, the TTR manual makes the concepts of inclusive retirement activities accessible to individuals, families, and community organizations.

Description:
As much as everyone groans from time to time about the humdrum and stresses of work, retirement is an unsettling prospect for most people. It's a major transition in anyone's life and change of this magnitude often arouses anxiety. This is much more so for people with disability, particularly intellectual disability.
But, as this manual shows, it doesn't have to be like that. The Transition to Retirement (TTR) program has been developed in response to a genuine problem: the need for an effective approach to supporting older employees to build an active, socially inclusive lifestyle after retirement. The approach mapped out in this manual may not be the solution for all workers with disability, but it will certainly assist quite a few.
The TTR program emphasises social inclusion. It is consistent with the focus of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) on building community participation and independence. It is also consistent with the National Disability Strategy's emphasis on promoting social inclusion in mainstream community settings and service systems. The TTR program supports ageing people with disability to develop new interests, skills and social networks, and facilitates their participation in mainstream community groups.
With the manual comes a DVD, which makes the idea of inclusive activities in retirement easily understandable to people with disability, their families and community organisations.
