Future Planning: The Journey Forward
According to a study conducted by the University of Illinois by sibling Dr Megan Burke, only a small fraction of parents of children with disabilities ages 3-68 have completed a plan for the future. While up to a third have taken some steps, most have left important details and arrangements to the next generation…and that generation is the Club Sandwich Generation; siblings who are between raising their own children, caring about their aging parents, and worried what the future may be for their sibling with disabilities. That’s what this practical, interactive 2-hour workshop is all about. This workshop is filled with tools to help you assess your future planning journey, get started or get back on track, tips for talking with your parents and your sibling with disabilities, and a “take-home” Journey Forward workbook to help you map it all out.
SPEAKER: Harriet Redman, M.S. Ed. is Executive Director and founder of WisconSibs, a non-profit organization dedicated to children and adults who have siblings with disabilities.
