Growing Older Together: Aging Siblings And Intellectual DisabilityThis workshop explores the unique dynamics experienced by aging siblings where one member has an intellectual disability. Participants will explore strategies aimed at enhancing the well-being of both siblings, recognizing each sibling’s contributions and needs. Additionally, attendees will focus on the varied roles and responsibilities typically taken on by non-disabled siblings, especially as parents become unable to provide primary care and support. Participants will gain insights into the challenges and rewards of this life stage for those they support, along with strategies for better supporting the entire family unit.
Note: This training currently is ONLY open to employees of New Jersey DDD, DDD/Medicaid Approved Providers, and individuals with disabilities and family members.
To meet the training needs of the entire state, there is a limit of participants per agency for this training.
Certificates: Certificates of Attendance with training title and duration will be provided.
