Welcome to Transition Talks Tuesdays!
Transition has many pieces! Learn about what those pieces are and how you can stay a step ahead so every child 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. TTT is presented by the Youth Health Transition Initiative.
The Wisconsin Youth Health Transition Initiative aims to make healthcare transition easier for youth with special healthcare needs in Wisconsin. We do this by developing and sharing healthcare transition resources with families and healthcare providers. We also work with healthcare providers to support best practice transition care for patients with disabilities and special healthcare needs.
Our Initiative is based out of the University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Waisman Center. We believe all families (including the self-advocate) deserve the best information possible so they can make their own decisions. TTT is one way we encourage transition to be integrated across all parts of life.
September – December 2025 We switched things up a little bit this fall and invited in some different partners to answer the question “how do you support adolescents moving into adulthood and their families?” and then tell us a bit more about their work. Recording and Resources can be found at https://healthtransitionwi.org/transition-talks-tuesdays-fall-2025/
