Family The Heart of Community - Inclusion Alberta Family Conference

Likely one of the most important relationships in one’s life is being a brother or a sister. Siblings often have a shared upbringing and life experiences with a level of commitment to a relationship that is unique but with a shared understanding of its importance and value. Every parent of a son or daughter with developmental disabilities worries about the time when they will no longer be alive and if there are brothers and sisters,the potential impact on their lives. In this Session sisters and brothers, with and without developmental disabilities, will share their heartfelt and honest experiences of growing up together and their future hopes and considerations when their parents are no longer here.
