Wondering how to best support and honor the experience of the siblings of our ReNU kids? Great, you’ve come to the right place.

Join The Sibling Experience with Amanda Own, Abigail Turnwald, and some awesome ReNU siblings.

Amanda Owen’s experience as a sibling of a brother with a rare chromosomal disorder has shaped her career and passions, from founding Puzzle Pieces, to writing a book, and to being a leader and change-maker in inclusion, empowerment, and visibility of people with disabilities.

Abigail Turnwald serves as a Genetics Counselor at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, combining her love of science and deep experience working with people with disabilities. Her areas of expertise include epilepsy genetics, partnering with families through the genetic testing process, and mental health and support of siblings of kids (and adults!) with disabilities.

Along with some guest star ReNU siblings, we’ll discuss what it’s like when your sibling has a disability and what parents can do to best support all of our kids. Conversation with Q&A to follow.
