Sibshops | Autism Awareness - April 5th, 2025

Saturday, April 5, 2025, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM,  Nationwide Children's Hospital

Community Program Attendance (4.00 hours), Non-Accredited (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
