Siblings of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have specific concerns and needs related to life with autism. Spectrum has offered a special group just for siblings ages 5-12 once a month, facilitated by trained leaders, adult siblings. The program involves group discussion, arts & crafts and games and utilizes the SibShop curriculum by Don Meyer, which was specifically designed for children with siblings with special needs.
Program Description :
Sibshops are pedal-to-the-metal events where they will meet other sibs, have fun, laugh, talk about the good and not-so-good parts of having a sib with special needs, play some great games, learn something about the services their brothers and sister receive, and have some more fun.
Note that this group is currently not having regular meetings. If interested in a sib group contact Claire@spectrumautism.org
Monthly Meeting Schedule & Location
Siblings are welcome during the Parent Support Group meeting, the first Thursday of each month (school year only).
