Health Care Transition Planning Guides
Planning guides often include checklists, but are much more comprehensive. You can download these from the website to save on your computer.
Three age-linked HCT planning guides are available, (12-14; 15-17 and 18+) and are designed to help parents and youth with special needs look at future goals, assess teen's level of independence on key health related activities, identify what parents are doing to support the teen’s autonomy in self-care, and develop a plan to transition from pediatric to adult-oriented health care. Available in English and Spanish. http://hctransitions.ichp.ufl.edu/products_planning_guides.php
