"Transition planning preps teens with skills they need for adulthood"
Hamilton Health Sciences, January 4th 2022

After experiencing a rare spinal cord stroke, Victory Anighoro started working with occupational therapist Andrea Morrison to regain his mobility and overcome functional limitations. The road was far from easy but he experienced huge improvements over the course of a few months. 

Once Victory turns 18, he will transition from children's services to adult care which means a large transition and a need to focus on future goals and plans. Fortunately occupational therapists are familiar with transitions and can assist with planning future participation in occupations and roles such as education, employment and housing.
