What We Need to Know about Transition to Adult Medical Care

Are you facing the unique challenges transitioning from pediatric to adult medical care can present for people with disabilities and their caregivers? Well, you’re not alone. Transitioning from pediatric to adult medical care looms large as one of the major components of our young adults’ transition to adulthood.

Please join Dr. David Traver as he provides information on:
– Awareness of the medical and health related conditions that are most relevant to the transition from childhood to adulthood
– How to successfully prepare for the transition from pediatric providers to adult medical care providers
– Practical resources to assist in the transition to adult medical care

Dr. David Traver has been serving the special needs community for over twenty-five years. He is a board-certified pediatrician and a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics.
