Sibling Panel Discussion - Lucas County Diane Frazee will be leading a sibling panel presentation at the monthly Lucas County MRDD Superintendent's Forum. Diane has lined up a diverse group of brothers and sisters who are willing to share the good, the bad & the ugly about life with a sib who has disabilities. (It's usually quite eye-opening for parents!) We invite you to join us for this intriguing and thought-provoking discussion from the 'other side' of the issue. We also want the sibs to have a responsive audience! Maybe your own children would like to hear that they're not the only ones who feel the way they do? Bring them - this might turn into something very special!
