TRANSITION OF CARE

Each patient transitioning from a child neurologist to an adult neurologist will have unique experiences and needs. CNF’s Transition of Care Program—its largest and most diverse program—helps to support youth, families, and child neurology teams in the medical transition from pediatric to adult health care systems.

Please download the fillable 2022 Transition Toolkit developed by the Child Neurology Foundation.

SEIZURE ACTION PLAN

The state of Illinois requires the development of a Seizure Action Plan for students with epilepsy on how to best care for students with the disorder. A student’s parents or guardians will share their healthcare provider’s instructions on managing the student’s epilepsy and include a copy of any prescriptions and how and when to administer those medicines.
