-How to support siblings of people with disabilities through their unique lives.
-Agencies & Organizations will learn how to provide "sibling friendly" services.
FRIDAY: Siblings of people with disabilities need support too!
What do you do about the concerns often experienced by brothers and sisters of children with disabilities; peer issues, resentment, loss and concerns about the future? The Siblings of people with disabilities Friday session will help you answer those and many more questions. You will witness a lively and rewarding discussion of sibs' issues across the lifespan including a discussion panel made up of siblings.
