Sibling & Parents Workshop; Sibling Support Panel

This in-person Sibling Support Panel Workshop is only for siblings of people with disabilities (7 years old and up) and their parents!

Attendees will:

· Meet a panel of adult siblings who have a brother/sister/sibling with a disability. Their sibling might use various mobility aids, equipment, communication strategies, devices and/or writing aids

· Have the opportunity to join our Sibling Q&A (for siblings ages 7+) or Parent and Older Sibling Q&A to ask questions to the adult sibling panel, who will share their experiences and stories with the group

Topics include:

· How siblings felt when their brother/sister/sibling was diagnosed

· What siblings learn from their brother/sister/sibling with a disability

· What siblings worry about, or how the future might look

· How best to support siblings, including advocacy support
