Autism From the Perspective of Siblings- A Sibling Panel- FREE
Join us on Friday, June 7, 2019 to hear and learn from a panel of local siblings, as they share their unique perspective on life growing up as a brother or sister of an individual with autism.
It is estimated that more than 3.5 million Americans have an autism spectrum disorder (Buescher et al., 2014). Many of these individuals have typically developing brothers and/or sisters. Siblings will often have the longest-lasting relationship with an individual who has a disability – one that could easily exceed 65 years. Throughout their lives, these brothers and sisters will share many of the same concerns that their parents might have, as well as issues that are uniquely theirs.
The panel will be moderated by ASCV Executive Director, Ann Flippin, proud sister of a young man with autism. Siblings will answer questions and if time allows, will take questions from the audience. This presentation is appropriate for parents and providers, as well as siblings in grades 3 through adulthood.

June/July 2019 Transition University Virtual Training
Transition University will offer a 4-session self-paced online series to help parents/guardians navigate the transition process for their school-age child and prepare for the adult world.
Life is full of transitions. For families of children with disabilities thinking about the future can bring mixed emotions. Some families are just trying to make it through day-to-day challenges and might not feel they have the energy to think about what happens after high school. Others may want to plan for that transition but are confused by unfamiliar language, complex steps, and the many agencies that may be involved in adult services.

Building a Community of Support: Bringing the Disability Community Together Through Group Support, Advocacy, and Education
Join Diane Cooper-Gould, parent and child advocate, in PEATC’s latest free online self-paced course. This course is designed to help the participant create, connect and grow a community of supportive individuals. These types of supportive communities could provide mutual peer support, community advocacy, education and/or activities for the group. Too often, caretakers and those with complex needs feel isolated and alone. Developing a structured way for connecting with others who understand and share similar challenges and dreams can open a whole new world of friendship and opportunities for all.
