Grandparents play an important role in the lives of children with disabilities and their families. In this webinar, we will examine the roles grandparents play in supporting their grandchild with disability and the family, and the barriers they face in navigating care for their grandchild, their adult children, and themselves. Join us as Marci Nemhauser, a psychologist and a grandmother to a child with disability shares her unique perspective as a grandparent and a professional. Participants will learn about strategies for professionals and schools to engage different groups of grandparents, including grandparents from diverse backgrounds.
