Wondering how you can help your child prepare for adult care? A new Family Toolkit from Got Transition has resources for you!
In the toolkit, you can find a health care transition timeline, questions for you and your child to ask their doctor, a tip sheet about the differences between pediatric and adult care, and many more!
Got Transition and its National Family Health Care Transition Advisory Group have developed a new toolkit for families to use to guide their youth’s transition from pediatric to adult health care and help them assume more independence in taking care of their own health and using health services. The Family Toolkit includes easy-to-use resources for youth and families, including a transition timeline, questions to ask your doctor, what turning 18 means for one’s health, and more.
