Transition to
Adulthood Learning Collaborative
The Transition to Adulthood Learning Collaborative (TALC) meets quarterly via conference
call to share knowledge, implementation strategies, and best practices.
Providers, youth and young adults, parents, caregivers, as well as
representatives from health care plans, hospital and university systems, and
local community organizations are invited to participate. Membership is open to
the general public. To join or learn more about the learning collaborative,
please email CSHCNSDG@dshs.texas.gov.
Mission
To promote a collaborative approach to the provision of
transition services for youth in Texas with disabilities and special health
care needs and their families.
Vision
Successful transition outcomes for all youth in Texas with
disabilities and special health care needs and their families.
Strategic Plan
Beginning in 2013, the Transition to Adulthood Learning
Collaborative members, named the Texas Title V Transition Workgroup at the
time, gathered to create the workgroup’s first strategic plan. An exploration
of the workgroup’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges
informed the selection of strategic priorities. Next, stakeholder and family
member recommendations assisted in the creation of specific goals, strategies,
and objectives. The resulting Five Year Strategic Plan is a product of the
workgroup’s efforts, and is intended to support members as they strive to
further the mission and vision of the TALC.
