Transition to Adult Care
The goal of transition to adult care is to support youth with special health care needs and their families or caregivers to gain the confidence, skills and knowledge to be ready to enter the adult health care system. At 18 years of age, they age-out of a number of services that have supported them since childhood: school, insurance, home care, travel benefits, and many others. Additionally, they also graduate from pediatric care into the adult health care system.
The ON TRAC model and tools have been developed to help youth, families, and care providers prepare for the changes that occur in adulthood, and the differences to expect as they transfer and participate in the adult health care system.
