Held at the beautiful American Family Headquarters just northeast of Madison, WI, this one-day conference will feature speakers and activities critical to siblings, family members and professionals.
Anyone who has a sibling with disabilities experiences a life-long journey like no other. They have an ever-changing need for information and connections to services and others who share their concerns and experiences.
The goal of the Sibling Summit is to help you experience one of the highest points in your sibling journey.
