Health Care Changes Too! Bridging the Gap from Adolescent to Adult Health Care
As we look ahead to our students/children turning 18, we need to keep an eye on health care. What steps need to be taken to move into the world of adult health care? What skills can be taught (even in middle school)? How can we tell what a student needs to know? Tim Markle from the Southern Regional Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs and the Wisconsin Youth Health Transition Initiative, and his young adult son Hunter, will be our presenters.

Transition has many pieces! Learn about what those pieces are and how you can stay a step ahead so your student can be successful. All Transition Talks Tuesdays (TTT) will be recorded and resource sheets will be made based on the recording. You can come back to this page to access the recordings.

In the fall of 2023, Transition Talks Tuesdays will be 6:15-7:15pm, Tuesday nights, September 19-October 24. We will have a special presentation on September 12 at Noon which is only available virtually. For those who wish to attend the evening sessions in person, the Sauk Prairie School District’s district office (440 13th Street, Prairie du Sac) will be open to families who wish to attend. There will be a space for those in need of the Spanish translation session as well as one for English. All virtual and in-person sessions will have real-time interpretation into Spanish. Spanish interpretation is being underwritten by Sauk Prairie School District and the Wisconsin Integrated Transition Planning Project (WITPP). WITPP finds ways for youth with disabilities to get better information about healthcare, education, and employment services. This information can make the transition to adulthood easier. Visit their website to find helpful resources and ways to get involved. Interpretation will be provided by Interpreters Cooperative of Madison.
Transition Talks Tuesdays is a partnership with the Sauk Prairie School District and the Southern Regional Center for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs.
