Community Corner: Transition from Pediatric to Adult Health Care

• Are you a teen or young adult getting ready to move to an adult care doctor?
• Are you a mom or dad thinking about what you need to do to prepare your child for the future?

Watch our webinar recorded on September 26, 2017, on transitions in epilepsy care called, “Your Kids are growing up: What’s next? Preparing youth with epilepsy for life as an adult.”

It introduces the transition process and what to consider from the pediatric and adult perspectives. It will help you consider questions like

• What needs does your child have?
• How do you find a new epilepsy team?
• What other supports will he need?
• Is your child ready to be more independent?
