Waisman Center’s Health Care Transition ECHO virtual training series

Registration is now open for the Waisman Center’s Health Care Transition ECHO virtual training series. This free, national 5-session series will be offered January to May 2025 11:30am – 1:00pm CST on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Health care transition (HCT) is the process of preparing youth and young adults for the transition to a healthy adulthood.

This ECHO is for health care providers across the US who work with youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This includes primary and specialty care providers, advanced practice providers (NP/PA), nurses, social workers, and any other provider interested in health care transition.

Participants will learn and share strategies to support youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to direct their own transition from pediatric to adult care and a healthy adulthood. Topics for this round include:

  • Working with Schools on Health Care Transition
  • Health Care Transition Services for those with Medical Complexity
  • Mental Health Barriers and Options during the Transition to Adult Services
  • Payment for Health Care Transition Services
  • Role of Families from Different Cultures in Health Care Transition
