Sibshop

At this Sibshop we will play some super fun games, also some quiet games, have lunch and take a tour of the Fire Station!

Typically developed siblings, age 8-13, who have a brother or sister with a developmental disability, special health care needs, or mental health concerns are invited to our Sibshop to be held in-person Thursday, July 15, 2021

Kids will have a great time getting to know each other while playing games and participating in discussion activities about having a sibling with special needs.

Goals of the Sibshop Project:

• Sibshops will provide brothers and sisters of children with special needs an opportunity to meet other siblings in a relaxed, recreational setting.
• Sibshops willl provide brothers and sisters with opportunities to discuss common joy and concerns with other siblings of children with special needs.
• Sibshops will provide brothers and sisters with an opportunity to learn how others handle situations commonly experienced by siblings of children with special needs.
• Sibshops will provide siblings with an opportunity to learn more about the implications of their brother's and sister's special needs.
• Sibshops will provide parents and other professionals with opportunities to learn more about the concerns and opportunities frequently experienced by brothers and sisters of people with special needs.
