Siblings of children with special needs often have unique experiences, questions, and perspectives. Sibshops at Spectrum provide a supportive and fun space just for them! Designed for children ages 7–12, this program brings siblings together to connect with others who understand what it’s like to have a brother or sister with special needs.
Through group discussion, arts & crafts, and interactive games, participants will share experiences, build friendships, and learn more about their sibling’s world in a positive and engaging environment. Sibshops utilize the nationally recognized curriculum developed by Don Meyer, specifically created to support siblings of children with special needs. This program is also supported by Spectrum’s Youth Advisory Council and will be led by an adult sibling, helping ensure an authentic, relatable, and welcoming experience for participants.
