Arc and Free Siblings Training on Disability Policy
Sibling Training about Disability Policy
The University of Illinois at Chicago is offering free training for siblings and their brothers and
sisters with disabilities. People who participate in this training will:
• increase knowledge of disability policy
• share ideas on long term services and supports
• identify strategies to be agents of change
• receive a toolkit of strategies for civic engagement
Two trainings will be held, so come to the one that works best for you:
• Disability policy
• Advocacy strategies
• How to effectively share your story and create change
The training is FREE.
Lunch will be provided.
To register for the either training, please contact Katie Arnold at: kkeiling@uic.edu or 312-996-1002
In addition, UIC is conducting research right before this training to gain your perspective on
long term services and supports. This will include a focus group discussion that will last up to
1 ½ hours. Your participation will provide important feedback that can potentially help guide,
expand, and strengthen disability policy. Your participation is voluntary and your responses
will be kept confidential.
