Feedback Wanted - Youth or Young Adults Between the Ages of 12 - 26 with I/DD

The LifeCourse Nexus is working with national partners to create Health Care Transition resources to support youth and young adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). The goal is support youth and young adults with I/DD to learn about leading their own health care as they move into adulthood. The resources include Health Care Transition Kits that each explore a topic. This work is part of the Center for Transition to Adult Health Care for Youth with Disabilities, led by Family Voices.

Participation Involves:
  • Attending 8 virtual meetings (approximately 90 minutes each) between July 2024 and April 2025
  • Reviewing a kit in between meetings.
  • Providing feedback on each kit during meetings.
  • A $100 stipend for each kit reviewed, for up to 6 kits. 

Topics Include:
  • Understanding Health Care Transition
  • Knowing About Your Health Care
  • Leading Day to Day Health Care Routines
  • Leading Your Health Care Visits and Interactions
  • Understanding Your Legal Rights in Health Care Settings Planning for Moving to Adult Health Care
