What are Sibshops?
"Sibshops are celebrations of the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with special needs. Sibshops acknowledge that being the brother or sister of a person with special needs is for some a good thing, others a not-so-good thing and for many, somewhere in-between. They reflect a belief that brothers and sisters have much to offer one another—if they are given a chance. Sibshops are a spirited mix of new games designed to be unique, off-beat and appealing to a wide range of abilities" Don Meyer
Sibshops are for siblings 7-12 years. Trained siblings age 13 - 21 can become Teen Sib Advisors and assist with the Sibshop!!!
