33rd Annual Duncan Seminar – Adulthood Here We Come: Smoothing the Healthcare Transition for Kids with Disabilities

Children with developmental disabilities and their families need adequate skills and knowledge to make a successful healthcare transition into adult care. Less than 50% of families nationwide indicate that their children and youth with special healthcare needs have received the services necessary to make appropriate transitions to adult healthcare, work and independence. Limited resources and gaps in health professions training are perceived as barriers to successful transition. This conference provides a forum to address these issues for the state of Washington. Topics will include the political climate; issues around family and professional "letting go"; getting to self-management; point-counterpoint discussion regarding best practices in both the pediatric and adult care systems; and lessons learned.
