For Youth and Young Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Projects / National Health Care Transition Resource Center
Project Overview
Family Voices is proud to have been awarded a five-year contract from The Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living, to empower youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to manage their health care transitions.
Family Voices leads this project, in partnership with Got Transition, SPAN NJ, University of Missouri Kansas City, and the Waisman Center, to empower youth and young adults ages 12-26 with ID/DD and their caregivers/families to manage HCTs with no reduction in quality of care or gaps in service.
The project will create a youth-driven National Health Care Transition Resource Center (NHCTRC) for Y/YA with ID/DD and will help these youth to direct their own transition from pediatric to adult models of care.
This project is supported by the Administration for Community Living (ACL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of a financial assistance award totaling $2,425,000 with 100 percent funding by ACL/HHS. The contents are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement, by ACL/HHS, or the U.S. Government.
