We grow with you Life Stage Transition Resources Background Transition Guide by Life Stage Transition Checklist PDF Transition Guide by Age Backgroud Navigating Health Care Transitions Background: A New Challenge Over the last 30 years, the transition from pediatric to adult health care providers and systems has become a pressing issue for families of young people with special health care needs. Thanks to advances in medical treatment, the survival rate for youth with special health care needs has improved tremendously, and life expectancy continues to rise. While all this is good news, it poses new challenges for the healthcare system, as well as school systems and other services. Finding adult health care providers who are experienced and willing to accept emerging youth with complex needs can be difficult, and youth are often unprepared to manage their health care and gain increased independence. Advance preparation and partnering with your healthcare providers can assist in a successful pediatric to adult health care transition.
