Meyer created the Sibling Support Project, a Washington State-based international program dedicated to the lifelong concerns of brothers and sisters of people with special health, developmental, and mental health concerns. Don was the director of the Sibling Support Project from 1990-2019 and has conducted workshops on sibling issues and trainings on the Sibshop model in all 50 states and in eleven countries. He is the editor of The Sibling Slam Book: What It's Really Like to Have a Brother or Sister with Special Needs (Woodbine House, 2005), Views from Our Shoes: Growing Up with a Brother or Sister with Special Needs (Woodbine House, 1997), and Uncommon Fathers: Reflections on Raising a Child with a Disability (Woodbine House, 1995).

His work has been featured on ABC News and National Public Radio and in Newsweek, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. Don is married to Terry DeLeonardis, a special education preschool teacher and consultant. They have four children and two grandchildren. Patricia Vadasy, Ph.D., is a Senior Research Scientist at Oregon Research Institute in Eugene, Oregon where she conducts research on early reading instruction. She is most interested in research to help children at risk for reading disabilities and children who are dual language learners.

Patricia also works with colleagues at Influents Innovations in Eugene to translate educational research findings into technology-based interventions for underserved students and families.
