Sibling Support
Web-based Event
February 18, 2009
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM (Central)
Siblings who have a brother or sister with a disability have unique experiences, not always recognized. Because they typically have the longest, latest relationship with their brothers or sisters with disabilities, it is important to include them in discussions about future planning, family support, service options, and advocacy. Though not always considered as key players, siblings can become leaders in the advocacy movement. Sponsored by the North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities, this session will give background and research on the sibling experience, with tips for supporting siblings from parents and professionals, and information on resources for siblings across the lifespan, including Sibshops, future planning, the Sibling Leadership Network, and others.
