Moving from children’s (paediatric) to adult healthcare is a step-by-step process with different stages. You can learn about these stages here in the healthcare transition timeline for parents and caregivers of young people with SCI.
Remember, these stages are only a guide. Every young person is different, and your child’s progress will depend on their needs and development.
Click on each age group below to find helpful information, tools, and resources to support you and your child through each stage of the transition.
Remember you and your child are not alone in preparing for the transition.
Ask for advice and assistance from doctors and other healthcare professionals, or get in touch with the paediatric peer support team. Read more about who may be included in your child’s healthcare team here.
