Our brothers, Our sisters, Ourselves. We’ve conducted workshops on sibling issues in all 50 states, England, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Guatemala, and New Zealand, and have helped establish over 260 replications of our award-winning Sibshop program in eight countries. Our books for families include Sibshops, Views from Our Shoes, Living with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs, Uncommon Fathers, The Sibling Slam Book, and Thicker than Water. And our work and publications have been featured in newspapers (Washington Post, New York Times), magazines (Exceptional Parent, Sesame Street Parent, Reader’s Digest), professional publications (JASH, Journal of Pediatric Psychology, The American Academy of Pediatrics News), and television (ABC News’ 20/20, Nightline & World News Tonight and Brazelton on Parenting) across the United States. We’d welcome an opportunity to present at your agency or your next conference or training event. We’ll show you how parents and providers can decrease siblings’ concerns and increase their opportunities, how to create “sibling friendly” services, and even how to start your own Sibshop.

Parent Cafe
Practical ways to help, plan, and manage daily living with autism. By raising a child with autism and helping the developmentally disabled get necessary support and services, our family learns practical ways to manage daily living, and plan for the future. Over the years, we've found reading lots of information on autism is not so important. How you will put this knowledge into action to benefit your child is what really matters.
