The NDSC Brothers & Sisters Conference is a fun-filled weekend where siblings of individuals with Down syndrome can share ideas, experiences and make new friends.
It is a place to learn, to be inspired and grow, to be enlightened and encouraged, and to ask tough questions in a supportive environment.
Participants will learn about Down syndrome and disability-related issues, including how to advocate for their brothers and sisters.
The B & S Conference will be facilitated by Ryan Rotundo and five additional returning siblings and college students. The weekend includes social gatherings and winds up in an exciting off-site trip.
