Overview

Health care transition (HCT) is the process of preparing youth and young adults for the transition to a healthy adulthood.

This includes primary and specialty care providers, advanced practice providers (NP/PA), nurses, speech-language pathologists and any other provider interested in transition. Participants will learn and share strategies to support youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to direct their own transition from pediatric to adult care and a healthy adulthood.
