SibShops - Happy Holidays! - 12/16/2023

Saturday, December 16, 2023, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM,  Nationwide Children's Hospital Education Center

Community Program Attendance (4.00 hours)

Brothers and sisters, ages 6 to 12, of children with autism and other developmental disabilities have feelings that may be hard to express, even to a friend; sadness that a sister has trouble learning, anger when a brother’s behavior prevents the family from doing things other families do, or the special pride when their sibling learns a basic but important life skill.

At Sibshops, siblings will share these feelings with others who truly understand. Sibshops celebrates the many contributions made by brothers and sisters and engages children through fun and games to explore feelings and share information.

What Happens at Sibshops?
•Siblings meet each other in a relaxed, fun setting
•Talk with others who “get it” about the good and sometimes not so good parts of having a sibling with autism
•Learn how to handle situations commonly experienced by siblings of children with autism and other developmental disabilities
•Learn more about their sibling’s special need
•Provide parents and other professionals with the chance to learn more about the concerns of siblings of children with autism and other developmental disabilities

Registration fee is $20 per child, per class. Fee includes lunch (pizza). If your child has a special dietary need, they can bring their lunch.
