Supported decision-making is a process now formally recognized in Wisconsin state law that provides an alternative to guardianship and will be a helpful tool for many Wisconsin residents. Supported Decision-Making can allow older adults and people with disabilities to retain their authority to make life decisions, while also having trusted people provide support. Attend this presentation to learn what the new law does and how you might use it in your life or to support a family member. Kristine Williams, attorney with Remley & Sensenbrenner, and WisconSibs board member will provide information and answer questions.

Sibling Fun at Circles of Life Conference 2018

Posted on by wisibs

This past week siblings growing up with children with disabilities gathered for Sibshop at the Circles of Life conference in Appleton, WI.  They came from all over Wisconsin and became fast friends.

They played games, talked about their hopes for the future, created inventions that may someday help their siblings, and laughed…and laughed…and laughed.

Teens dug into some deeper discussions and created bonds with one another.  Some can’t wait to reconnect at Sib Camp this summer.
