Phase 3: CARE in Practice

Transition to adulthood can be daunting for people with developmental disabilities. The Developmental Disability Primary Care Program (DDPCP) developed SHARE Transition Plan Tools to guide for health care providers to communicate with patients and families about their transition from pediatric services. SHARE spells out 5 key areas for planning transition: Supports for Communication & Capability; Healthcare Transition & Transfer; Activities & Engagement; Relationships & Well-being; Exploring Services & Supports. Transition planning involves setting goals with youth and families in these areas over time. “SHARE” is also the essence of the collaborative process. 5 unique families SHARE their experiences with these 5 realms of shared transition planning.
