Supporting a loved one with intellectual disabilities and/or autism requires planning and knowledge! What happens if or when others need to take over the care of your loved one? What needs to be in place? What things need to be identified as essential? Learn from other families how they are handling long- term planning during this two-hour workshop. It is appropriate for both siblings and other caregivers. Join PAFN and meet other siblings! See the attached flier for more information including registration instructions.
