Making the leap from pediatric to adult healthcare can be overwhelming. In this episode, I discuss what to expect, how to prepare, and how to support and advocate for your special needs’ teen through this transition.
Please note: How transition care is handled can depend on the country you live in, the health care system of said country, but also insurance. I am based in the Netherlands so therefore some of the tips I share are based on living here. It might be therefore different for you. However, a lot of the tips I think are applicable to everybody no matter where you are in the world.
Stay sane & stay happy mom.
