Practical Approaches to Transition
This session considers the practical aspects of timing and planning of transition and transfer for young people with long term conditions and/or disabilities.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe the principles of transition planning and timing of transfer
- Describe core knowledge and skills integral to transition and self-management skill development for adolescents with long-term conditions and/or disabilities
- Demonstrate methods in person-centred transition planning with young person, parent and other professionals and agencies
Transitional care is now advocated by national professional organisations in the UK, USA and Canada but challenges remain as to how such policies are translated into practice.
Integral to transition is young person-centred planning which addresses the medical, psychosocial and educational/vocational issues facing the individual young person as they grow up and eventually move out of child-centred services. This session will explore the key components of this planning process.
