Transition to Adulthood Road Maps
Road Maps were created to help patients and families as a young adult moves into adulthood. Your medical team will help prepare young adults for the change from a pediatric model of care to an adult model of care.
A pediatric model of care is where parents or caregivers make most choices.
An adult model of care is where you will make your own choices.
We have created 2 road maps:
• Teens who will be independent in their care.
• Teens who will need on-going support.
