What are SibShops?
SibShops can be best described as opportunities for brothers and sisters of children with unique health and developmental needs to obtain peer support and education within a recreational context. ​
SibShops acknowledge that being the brother or sister of an individual with unique health or developmental needs can come with a mix of experiences — some are great, some are challenging, and many are somewhere in between. SibShops believes that when given the chance, brothers and sisters have much to offer each other!​
Who can attend?
Our SibShops here at Connections EIAS are specifically designed to support children ages 8-13 who have a sibling with a disability and/or unique health and developmental needs.​
Are SibShops Therapy?
SibShops are not therapy; though, they may be therapeutic for some individuals that attend.
These events are designed to be lively and fun celebrations of of the many contributions made by brothers and sisters of kids with various health and developmental needs.
Who Facilitates SibShops?
SibShop Facilitators are individuals and/or service providers who are experienced and familiar with the unique needs represented in a group like this! Here at Connections EIAS, our Facilitators have successfully completed an educational training to become Certified SibShop Facilitators.
