Sibling Panel: What We Want You to Know (90 minutes)
Often times, when we hear about services and resources for families of children with disabilities, siblings are not included in the conversation. Yet they are the ones that will be in the life of their sibling with a disability the longest. This panel will be made up of young adult siblings who will reflect upon what it was like growing up with a brother or sister with a disability.
