Successful transition planning helps to ensure coordinated care that is culturally sensitive, appropriate for your child's age and development, and family focused.

Late transition (18-23 years):

• Healthcare providers continue to see the patient alone for part of the visit
• Patients can verbalize their health history, current conditions, and importance of short-and-long-term problems
• Patients know their medications and are responsible for taking and ordering medications
• Patients are responsible for making their appointments and can verbalize their follow up care plan
