New Resources on Young Adults with Disabilities Aging Out of Public Programs

 From Lucille Packard Foundation

"The transition from pediatric to adult health care for youth with disabilities is getting some much-needed attention. The American Academy of Pediatrics released a new policy statement at the end of May. And, with support from our Foundation and the WITH Foundation, the National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health has released a set of five publications focused on what happens when young adults with disabilities age out of childhood eligibility for health care programs like Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. These new resources help fill the gap in our understanding of the aging out experience, particularly for Black young adults, and recommend strategies to reduce disruptions and inequities in care."
