More individuals with spina bifida are living into adulthood, and unique
challenges arise as they age. These patients have multiple organ system
involvement in addition to physical impairments, disabilities, cognitive
involvement, and psychosocial challenges. There is a growing need for
transitional care for adults with spina bifida. This article explores the 5 key
elements for a transition program to adult care: preparation, flexible timing,
care coordination, transitional clinic visits, and health care providers who are
interested in taking care of adults with disabilities.
