Abstract
Adolescence is a period of emotional and physical upheaval and a time when personal identity, need for independence, and peer relationships all evolve. This transition from dependence to independence can be a difficult process for healthy teenagers. Those with chronic illness and disability have additional concerns, rendering them especially vulnerable as they progress into adulthood.
