Description

Research suggests that health care providers, adolescents with developmental disabilities (DD), and their families face difficulties and barriers related to health care transition. The current study conducted focus groups with parents of adolescents with DD and providers who work with adolescents with DD to identify and discuss barriers, supports, knowledge, and experience with the transition from pediatric to adult health care.
