EATT Annual Meeting
If you are reading this than you must have received the latest Early Adult Transition Task-Force Newsletter. The newsletter included an open invite to anyone who wishes to be part of the task force or if you just come to one meeting and check it out. It should be a fun day, we already have a few people signed up! Children Special Health Care Services really wants your input so come and check us out on May 12th in Lansing. If you have any questions at all e-mail DCH-EATT@michigan.gov or call 1-800-359-3722...I hope to meet some of you there.

exactly how old is a young adult?
is autism considered part of this endeavor? (I ask because that is not something generally covered under children's special health care services)
thanks
Thanks for your question. the youngest we have had so far participate in EATT activities is 16 years old. This is about the time that people should start thinking about/planning the transition to adulthood.
The great thing about the EATT is that the scope of who can be involved is much larger than just those who are enrolled in the CSHCS program. While autism is not a diagnosis that is covered by CSHCS the EATT would certainly include all individuals with special health needs who would like to particpate in getting the word out to young adults about the importance of planning for health care as an adult.
