We will discuss the meaning and process of transition to adult
healthcare, as well as health disparities, and hope for the future.

Learning Objectives:
1. Define transition, and define transfer; understand the differences
of each process.
2. Discuss healthcare disparities patients with I/DD experience as
they age.
3. Review research about healthcare for adults with IDD.
4. Outline the process of an ideal healthcare transition. (Wait a
minute, there is no ideal! It should all be tailored to each patient
and family’s unique situation and timeline.)
5. Understand the perspective of a patient/family who has
undergone transition from pediatric to adult healthcare.

The intended audience for this webinar includes: families, caregivers,
care coordinators, service coordinators and community care providers
