Transition to Adult Medical Care: A Parent’s Perspective

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!)

This webinar will provide live Spanish interpretation.
If you need accommodations to participate in the training or assistance with registration, please contact us as soon as possible at [email protected]. We typically require 10 days to arrange accommodations to ensure your inclusion.

This is a Connections California event, a project of Parents Helping Parents – Silicon Valley. Connections California is sponsored in part by the San Andreas Regional Center and the California Department of Developmental Services.
