Description of Presentation

Do you know how a parent’s role in the healthcare process changes during puberty?

Join Nikki Montgomery, M.A., M.Ed., GPAC, Director of Strategy and Communications for Family Voices National, as she leads a discussion on how to begin to involve your child in planning and decision-making now to prepare for future self-advocacy.

As part of her work with Family Voices, Nikki also leads the National Center for Transition to Adult Health Care for Youth with Disabilities, and will be addressing how race, disability and special health needs can affect healthcare outcomes.

Families will learn to grow their child’s independence and advocacy skills in order to more confidently navigate this adolescent transition.
