As children get older they must prepare for the transition to adult life. Transitioning to adult life means planning for future needs including:
- Health care
- Employment
- Education
- Independent living
Children with special health care needs will need to make the transition from pediatric care to adult care. Health care planning should also include:
- Learning independent health care skills
- Finding adult health care providers
- Getting proper health care coverage
