The Road We've Shared

Getting ready for the NDSC conference in Indianapolis?  We're talking to some of the presenters and exhibitors who will be focused on adult issues.  Our first scheduled guest is Marianne Marts from Joey's Ups with Downs.  Marianne is co-guardian of Joey, her older brother who has Down syndrome.  She'll be talking about her presentation scheduled for Saturday called "Calm to Crisis at the Flip of a Switch! How to Prepare for a Family Emergency Even if They "Don't" Want to Talk About It!"  Marianne will also be in the exhibit hall with her book "Will You Be My Friend" that features his brother Joey.

Join us for a preview from this highly involved sibling who knows her way around the advocacy world and can help us understand the perspective of sibling guardianship.

We'll continue Saturday's conversation about what we're looking forward to learning from the National Down Syndrome Congress convention and what we need from our new community focused on caring for adults who have Down syndorme.  This is your turn to give us input on what features you'd like to see, topics you'd like to discuss, or resources you'd like us to try to get.  We'll also talk about all of the great guests we have lined up for the week leading up to the conference!

We hope you'll join us !
