THIS ISSUE: Many families in the U.S. recently navigated the transition from summer to school year. Families of children with special health care needs and disabilities often have multiple transitions in the pipeline. This issue of the eBlast shares resources for a variety of types of transition.
For a place to start, check out this collection of resources on transition planning. Resources are divided by audience: general audience, parents, professionals, and students.
From the comfort of your own home, find a transition planning tool or a document that explains a transition-related policy or law. This online resource library–and also checkout the Research Library–shares resources, guides, and toolkits to help people with disabilities and older adults exercise their Right to Make Choices.
This page from our partner, Got Transition, defines health care transition and has a set of frequently asked questions answered by experienced youth, young adults, and parents.
