Supporting Siblings of Children with Disabilities

From a United Arc press release:

The United Arc invites families and interested community members to a workshop on supporting siblings of children with disabilities.  This workshop will be held on Wednesday, January 18 from 6 - 8:30 PM at The Arc Common, 20 Chapman Street, Greenfield, MA.

A guest speaker from the MA Sibling Support Network will describe research on the impact of disabilities on siblings, discuss ways to foster a positive sibling experience among children, and share information about the growing sibling movement.

Walk-ins are welcome but advance registration is helpful so workshop leaders can prepare enough materials and refreshments for all attendees.  Contact Felicia Spiess at 413-774-5558 or register on the web at www.unitedarc.org.

The United Arc provides an array of support services and advocacy for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families and operates family support centers serving the North Quabbin and Franklin County areas.
