"For Sibs Only" stories
This site was updated
June 18, 2009
It is our goal to make this site a place where you can locate the resources and information you need to help you with the daily challenges associated with parenting and advocating for children of all ages living with disabilities. We are not "reinventing the wheel". There is a veritable maze of information available and it is plentiful, it's just not always easy to locate or simple to understand. We are making every effort to seek out that information from the most reputable sources, and present it to you in a form that reflects our "parent-friendly" way of doing things. We hope that you find each and every page non-technical and easy to use, but packed with valuable information.
