“For the adults who run them and for the agencies that sponsor them, Sibshops are evidence of their loving concern for the family member who will have the longest-lasting relationship with a person who has a disability.” **PRE- REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED**
Who: Siblings of children with any type of disability between the ages of 6 and 12.
What: Sibshops – Recreational Sibling Support Forum
When: Saturdays- Four sessions in the Fall, Four in the Spring
Why: Sibshops are designed for school-age children. Peer support is provided within a lively, recreational context that emphasizes a kids’-eye-view.
- Sibshops acknowledge that most brothers and sisters of children with disabilities are doing well, despite the challenges of having a sibling with a disability.
- Sibshops seek to provide siblings opportunities to talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs with others who “get it”, while having fun
Sibshops are not therapy, although their effect may be therapeutic for some children
