Children’s Special Health Care Services Transitioning to Adulthood Resource Directory

This resource directory is designed to offer information to youth and their families about the process of transitioning to adulthood for youth with chronic illnesses and/or disabilities. There are legal, financial, medical, and educational aspects to transition that need to be taken into consideration. Click on the tabs below to see local, state, and national resources for each topic.

Transition is a process that can begin early through discussions with your teen, encouraging them to think about what their goals might be for their life, and working together to plan for the steps that need to be taken as they reach adulthood. This process continues into adulthood as they mature and learn to be more independent. It is our hope to provide information and resources to make this transition successful. Children's Special Health Care Services staff can help clients with transition plans.

^{Washtenaw County Children’s Special Health Care Services provides the list below as a resource, but does not endorse any specific organization or website. If you would like to add a resource to this guide, please email Cindy Barcome, Children’s Special Health Care Services community health worker.}
