What does the transition process include? - AngelmanUK

AngelmanUK asked families what their experience of the transition process was like and what advice they could offer to others. Transition refers to the process of changing from child to adult services and becoming more independent. Many families find this time challenging because they have to swap services and professionals when the child turns 18 and becomes an adult. This changes can be necessary for Medical Consultants, Schools, Colleges, Respite, Social workers, Therapists and more. Services and procedures vary between cities and boroughs in the UK so this can add to the complications of the process.
AngelmanUK is the registered charity for Angelman Syndrome in the UK. The charity provides resources for support, education and research for parents, carers and professionals. This rare genetic disorder affects families across the world and is often recognised by the person’s very smiley and happy behaviour. The families also struggle with a myriad of other issues, such as Epilepsy, Scoliosis and extremely challenging behaviour.
We hope this film will help other families prepare for the transition process and educates the Angelman and wider community of the expectations for this time. Visit www.angelmanuk.org to find out more about Angelman Syndrome.
