Our Dialogue on Disability looks at lifetimes of care. What happens when a parent passes away, leaving questions about who will care for an adult with a disability? This question is at the heart of the documentary Mimi and Dona, which airs Sunday on WXXI-TV.
Our guests discuss this and related questions. In studio:
- Edwin Rivera, a family caregiver taking part in programs offered by Future Care Planning Services
- Paul Akers, vice president for community services at Epilepsy-Pralid
- Michael Cocquyt, supervisor for SportsNet
This program is presented as part of Dialogue on Disability Week – a partnership between WXXI and the Al Sigl Community of Agencies – in conjunction with the Herman and Margaret Schwartz Community Series. Dialogue on Disability is supported in part by The Golisano Foundation with additional support from the Fred L. Emerson Foundation.
