HEALTH CARE TRANSITION
Health care transition is helping young people with special
health care needs plan their move from the child-centered
health care system to the adult-centered health care
system. Some ways that this is done include:
• Current doctors and health care providers discussing changing
health care needs as youth become adults and eventually see
adult providers
• Doctors, other health care providers, and families encouraging
youth development toward self-management skills and
knowledge
• Families, youth, and providers working together on a written
Transition Plan(s)

YOUTH PARENT SURVEY
Almost 49% of YSHCN families report having
participated in some type of transition planning for
their child; of these:
• 72% participated in transition planning through
their child’s IEP only

planning only

TRANSITION PLANNING
• Developing a transition plan for YSHCN is an
important tool in the process of moving to
adulthood
• Including health care in the transition plan, or
developing a separate health care transition plan
with care providers, is crucial.
• Health care transition planning should be done
by youth, families, and providers.

INDEPENDENCE WITH SUPPORT

Monitor their health status on an ongoing basis
– “I use my communication device to let others
know how I am feeling.”

Ask for guidance from their pediatric health
care providers on how and when to make the
move from pediatrics to adult care – “I’m going
to ask my pediatrician- when should I start
seeing a family practice doctor for my general
care instead of a pediatrician?”

Social Security for now because I have a
disability and I need to be able to get medical

INDEPENDENCE WITH SUPPORT

Identify both formal and informal advocacy
services and supports they may need in order to
be as independent as possible while at the same
time using trusted advisors and mentors –

“I ask my parents for advice because they have
known my medical care the longest.”

Start small. Start slow. Start now!
How do you prepare your teens to meet
the challenges of adult health care? By
using ordinary, every day teaching
opportunities and lots of practice.

doesn’t mean it’s impossible.” – Lewis
