Parenthood is filled with many joys and struggles. Parenting a child with disabilities is not any different.
However, when your child turns 21, some of the services relied upon for your child’s basic needs, along with growth and development opportunities, no longer are available.
Plan to attend the next brown bag as Kim Bainbridge, who retired from the Munroe-Meyer Institute, discusses the joy Justin, her adult child with Down syndrome, brings to her every day and the frustration she can experience trying to obtain the care he needs.
“Labyrinth of Disability Services: How I Learned to Get the Best Assistance to Provide the Optimal Opportunities for my Adult Child” is part of the Olson Center for Women’s Health brown bag lecture series. It will be on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at noon through Zoom.
Register by emailing the Olson Women’s Health Resource Center or by calling 402-559-6345. The Zoom link will be emailed to registrants prior to the event.

University of Nebraska Medical Center is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the health care team.
