A resource to help youth and young adults with special health care needs and disabilities make a successful transition to adult living that includes their education, health and community living
Wisconsin Community of Practice on Transition Practice Group on Health
The Wisconsin Community of Practice on Transition is comprised of a statewide group of key stakeholders who join together to continue to improve collaboration among agency representatives and community partners. The Community on Transition provides a vehicle to share information, bring forth emerging issues and problem solve. Practice groups form around topics of interest, bringing stakeholders together to share their work. The Practice Group on Health recognizes that health is a critical part of every person and must be incorporated into all aspects of transition. The Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs Program, within the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Public Health, is supported with funding from the Maternal and Child Health Title V Services Block Grant, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Health Resources and Services Administration, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This publication was supported by funding from the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, through grant number 4DOMCO4467-01-03, Wisconsin Integrated Systems for Communities Initiative. The Waisman Center is dedicated to the advancement of knowledge about human development, developmental disabilities and neurodegenerative diseases. It is one of 9 national centers that encompass both an Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center designated by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and a University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) designated by the Administration on Developmental Disabilities.
