Small Goals, Big Progress: Roy & Tom Trtan on Helping Social Security Disability Clients Thrive in 2026

How can Social Security Disability (SSDI/SSI) claimants keep moving forward when the process and life on benefits feels overwhelming? In this episode, Roy sits down with Tom Trtan to share actionable strategies for setting—and achieving—small, realistic goals during and after the disability claim journey.

Roy and Tom break down:

• Why small goals matter for disability clients navigating SSA procedures or post-entitlement work incentives like Ticket to Work (SSA resource)
• The psychological boost from incremental progress, whether preparing for an ALJ hearing or tackling a Continuing Disability Review (CDR info)
• Concrete examples of micro-goals claimants can set—like organizing paperwork, tracking medical records, or planning safe daily routines
• How representatives and advocates can support clients in staying on track, building confidence, and pushing toward the next step

If you or someone you love receives disability benefits—or you work with SSDI/SSI claimants—this conversation will help you focus on what you can do today. No hype, just proven methods grounded in Social Security rules and real outcomes.
