Journal Article
Facilitating Transitions to Adulthood in Pediatric Brain Tumor Patients: the Role of Neuropsychology
2020
Overview
Purpose of ReviewTransition-age patients with history of a pediatric brain tumor are at significant risk for difficulties transitioning to adulthood. We review current transition models and the potential role of neuropsychology in the transition process for adolescent and young adult brain tumor survivors.Recent FindingsSeveral recently developed healthcare transition models include consideration of patients’ cognitive and functional capacities, yet currently available transition readiness tools are limited in scope and do not possess adequate normative data across pediatric medical populations. We explore the potential utility and added benefit of systematically incorporating neuropsychology in the transition process for pediatric brain tumor survivors. The literature supports increased evaluation and intervention targeted at psychosocial barriers to transition. Based on these findings, we propose a family-centered and multidisciplinary care model that promotes both medical and broader psychosocial transition processes.SummaryNeuropsychology is ideally suited to assess the wide-ranging areas encompassed in transition readiness and to facilitate the transition process.
