UW - Adolescent Health Transition Project - Washington

Children and families experience many transitions, large and small, over the years. Three predictable transitions occur when children reach school age, when they approach adolescence, and when they move from adolescence to adulthood. Other transitions include moving into new programs, working with new agencies and care providers, and making new friends. Transitions involve changes: adding new expectations, responsibilities, or resources, and letting go of others. The Transition Timeline for Children and Adolescents with Special Health Care Needs may help you think about the future. We hope it will give you ideas to help your child achieve independence in his or her own health care, and in other areas of life as he or she grows
