#ItsASiblingThing #NationalSiblingsDay2021 @SibCollab - To my fellow brothers and sisters of ppl w disabilities - a thread🧵1/16 : I see you. Being careful this year about which job you can take so that while living in your apartment in isolation you know that you can still pitch in at your parents’ home, while making sure no COVID enters the doorway. 2/16

Tomorrow is #NationalSiblingsDay in Canada. As difficult as things are today, I want to make sure we pause to acknowledge and celebrate siblings tomorrow, with and without developmental disabilities. 1/ Our UK colleagues @Sibs_uk have just released a report on sibs of kids with disabilities and the impact lockdown has had on them. You can read their report here and see the news coverage on @BBCNewsround

No data yet in Canada, but we saw major reports from UK and US this week on deaths from COVID during first wave for ppl w developmental disabilities. At a first glance, both reports garnered media attention but what do we do after we see the headlines? If we have developmental disabilities or we love someone who does, we panic. We don't know what it means but we feel frightened, angry, let down again. What are people doing to help and change the trajectory during this second wave?

Today I have decided I am going to stand on my soapbox and say all sorts of things. If you work in health care or know people who do, please share this episode with them. But they need to listen to the whole show and not just read the blurb about it. They can listen to my piece (thank you so much for including me in this conversation Jeff & Brian), they can celebrate the great ending with Victor and watch the short video with him, Shineeca & Erica
