Special Educational Recordkeeping This training is designed for parents of children who are dealing with the Committee on Preschool Special Education / Committee on Special Education and children who have 504 plans who have special education needs. Transitioning from Pediatric to Adult Health Care and Services Health is the foundation for all that we do. Planning for the transition from pediatric to adult health care and considering the impact health will have on adult services is essential. This workshop provides an introduction to the knowledge, skills and tools necessary to promote a successful transition; allows for the sharing of experience through a panel of parents who have navigated transition planning; and promotes self-advocacy and collaboration between youth, families, service providers, the medical community and school systems. The Healthy Transitions website, a tool for transition planning, will be introduced. Sponsored by Parent to Parent of NYS and the NYS Institute for Health Transition Training.
