The Center for Transition to Adult Health Care for Youth with Disabilities is a national health care transition resource center. The goal of the center is to empower youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) ages 12-26 to direct their own transition from pediatric to adult care with no reduction in quality of care and no gaps in service.

It provides healthcare transition training and resources to youth and young adults with ID/DD, ages 12-26, their families, and the professionals who serve them. All aspects of the center are created with the support and guidance from the youth. The National Health Care Transition Resource Center is served by multiple systems such as but not limited to, Foster System, Children and Youth, IDD, Family Services, Human Services, and the Justice System.
