Healthcare Lesson Plans and Materials

The Healthcare Lesson Plan Activities document contains facilitator's instructions for three activities designed to empower youth to begin taking charge of their health-related needs, preparing them to transition to independent living. Activities are included to help participants plan for how they can handle their needs related to their disability (making doctor's appointments, keeping track of medications, etc.), learn how to keep track of all important medical information, and understand how to form a solid relationship with their primary physician.
