9th Annual Chronic Illness and Disability Conference
Chronic Illness and Disabilities: Transition from Pediatric to Adult-Based Care
The conference provides a state-of-the-art update on issues involved in transitioning youth and young adults with chronic illness and disability to adult-based services. In its ninth year, this conference has developed a singular reputation. There is no other conference on adolescent transition that brings together nationally and locally-recognized clinical and family member experts. The conference is known for high quality presentations and exceptional dialogue among health care professionals, young adults, and family members.
For clinicians, the conference includes discussion applicable to both primary and specialty care practices and provides an interdisciplinary perspective on how teams can come together to facilitate the important transition from adolescence to adulthood in healthcare.
For parents, teens and young adults, the conference offers an opportunity to hear practical medical, legal, and insurance information. Conference presentations this year also cover important issues with respect to mental health care and family supports.
For both clinicians and families, the conference includes time to meet and talk with faculty, to exchange ideas among participants, including experienced clinicians, parents, and young adults, and to share knowledge and insight about how best to make a successful transition to adulthood.
