SIBSHOPS
Sibshops are created for siblings of children with special needs. It provides an opportunity for brothers and sisters of children with special needs to obtain support from other children who are in similar situations. Sibshops also create an atmosphere of fun with a variety of activities to enjoy. Sibshops acknowledge being a brother or sister of a person with disabilities is sometimes challenging but has many immeasurable rewards. These workshops are offered quarterly and are designed for children ages 8-12.
Teenshops are very similar to Sibshops, but were created for the teenage siblings of children with special needs. Some goals of these programs are to provide brothers and sisters with opportunities to discuss common joys and concerns with other siblings of children with special needs and to provide an opportunity to learn more about the implications of their sibling’s special needs.
