- A time to move on.
- Getting ready to move from the children’s asthma clinic to the adult clinic usually between the ages of 11 to 16.
- Your child learns about their asthma.
- Your child learns how to manage their asthma.
- Your dependent child is becoming an independent adult.
- The process of transition is gradual and it is not the same as transfer from one service to another immediately.
