Transition to Adulthood – Health Care

This toolkit was developed for families to use during pediatric-to-adult HCT and includes resources for both parents/caregivers and youth/young adults. These tools can be used to better prepare youth and families for the transition to adult care.

Creating a vision for the future helps provide a plan for youth with disabilities who are unclear and/or anxious about becoming an adult. Person-centered planning (PCP) is directed by the youth to help them plan their life and supports.

Person-Centered Planning is all about YOU! YOU are focus of person-centered planning, also called PCP. That means that you get to let your family, your teachers, and others know what you want to do when you leave high school or college and how you want to live your life. People that you trust and care about can help you make those choices but you voice is the most important. PCP can help you achieve your goals and dreams for life after high school

Person-Centered Planning is all about YOU and YOUR plans for YOUR future!

Everyone needs support making some of their decisions. Some people may need support at the doctor’s office. Some people may need help with their taxes. Some people may need help with money.

Begin with the End in Mind It’s never too soon to start planning with your child for their future. When your child is in middle school, this may seem far away and you are focused on today. But those middle and high school years will pass quickly and soon your child will be an adult. While planning is important for all students, it is even more important for students with disabilities who may face more challenges than their peers without disabilities.

Self-advocacy means speaking up for yourself and taking an active role in decisions that affect your life. It’s about understanding your strengths and needs, asking questions, finding information, knowing your rights, and asking for help when needed. It’s also about learning how to solve problems, communicate clearly, and build supportive relationships.

The intention of this guide is to provide direction, advice, and information, and to present a collection of resources that you can use to help navigate your transition to adulthood as smoothly as possible. Our goal is to point you in some useful directions, but it is ultimately up to you to decide what will be helpful for you in your transition journey. In the sections that follow, you will find guidance on transition planning, person-centered planning, building a transition IEP, and exploring pre-employment services.
