Brothers and sisters share many of the same feelings and concerns that parents of children with special needs experience, such as feelings of guilt, isolation, and concern over what the future holds. Listen and learn from a panel of adult siblings of people with special needs as they discuss their relationships with their siblings, pivotal moments in their lives, challenges they have experienced, and their thoughts on future planning. Panelists will also take questions from the audience. The discussion will be moderated by Tammy Besser, LCSW, who coordinates Sibshops and Teen Sibshops developed by Don Meyer of the Sibling Support Project. A helpful resource list will be available. This workshop is appropriate for parents of children with disabilities and for the siblings (high school and beyond) of people with disabilities. Space is limited.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 What a fabulous idea for a workshop. Anyone from IPADD one of the presenters at this by any chance? If yes, please share your stories here, too! Much of it sounds geared towards school aged students, but we can apply these same principles to our adults, too, right? L.
