Cultural Competencies: Considering the Sibling Experience in Supporting Families of Children with Disabilities
with Nikki Donnelly, Kalyn Farris and Liza Stack
Tuesday, May 16, 2023
6:00pm-7:30pm (PDT) | Virtual Event

Join us for this informative EVENING Event
Parents: Are you ever concerned about your typically developing child and what they might be feeling?
Adult Siblings: How does being a sibling of someone with a disability affect life experiences and choices? How do you see yourself in the context of your family and your role in future care?
Professionals: Are you a service provider to families that include a sibling of your client? How might understanding the sibling perspective shape or change your practice when working with families?
The sibling relationship is the longest relationship most of us will experience in our lives. When one sibling has a disability, it creates a more complicated dynamic that evolves and changes throughout life. Join us to learn what it means to be a sibling to someone with a disability (Sib) and the impact across the lifespan. We will share what the research tells us, explore personal Sib stories, and engage in planning how the Sib community can best provide support for families.

Session 1: August 21
How to Build Trusting Partnerships with Childcare Providers: Five Ways to Set the Stage for Collaborative Coaching
All successful coaching partnerships are built on trust, but trust does not simply “happen.” We have to actively build it! In this session, we will describe five ways that early interventionists can set the stage for coaching with childcare providers while building a strong partnership built on mutual respect.
We will reflect on our biases and assumptions about childcare providers, consider how to reframe these thoughts and assumptions to honor the experiences and expertise of the childcare provider, and discuss how to communicate about our role as early interventionists in the classroom. This virtual session will include discussions, reflective activities and examples from community-based settings.
Session 2: August 23
Collaborative Coaching with Childcare Providers During Everyday Classroom Routines
Have you ever found yourself working with an infant or toddler in the corner, or even in a closet? After this two-part series, we hope to make “in the corner” or “in the closet” intervention a thing of the past! This session will focus on how to use a systematic framework for coaching that helps childcare providers embed strategies into their everyday classroom activities.
These strategies will help you (and baby) get out of the corner and into the classroom routines where all children learn. The virtual session will include video exemplars, discussions, and reflective activities.
