Are you facing the unique challenges transitioning from pediatric to adult medical care can present for people with disabilities and their caregivers?
Well, you’re not alone. You may be wondering:
- Will adult providers understand my young adult’s disability?
- How do we prepare our young adults (and ourselves) to participate in healthcare appointments and decisions?
- Will the new provider and our young adults be able to communicate effectively?
- What happens when my young adult turns 18 and is legally “an adult”?
Please join Alyssa DiFilippo, Strategic Projects Manager of Connections California at Parents Helping Parents, as she shares:
- A parent’s perspective on pediatric to adult medical care
- Practical tips on how parents can approach this part of transition to adulthood – for themselves & their young adults
- A review of health insurance, public benefits, and legal issues
- Resources for parents and young adults
- A bit on how to let go – to let grow (thanks for that memorable quote Trudy Grable!)
