I recommend this as a good resource if you have a child in middle school

(getting ready for a future) or secondary ed (going through transition)

-wouldn't hurt to visit if you have a little one too.setting future goals of

employment and independence.You may want to consider subscribing to their

announcements. They often have webcasts and information of a national

perspective.

What's Health got to do with Transition? EVERYTHING!

Youth with special health care needs want a full range of opportunities like

everyone else and require a coordinated system of care. Lifelong health

issues require lifespan skills. The challenge is to simultaneously improve

the system that serves and prepares youth and their families with the

knowledge and skills necessary to promote self-determination, wellness and

successful transition to adulthood.

Success in the classroom, within the community, and on the job requires that

young people with special health care needs stay healthy.
